Pilots Flying Wounded Vets for Free
This month, Veterans Airlift Command volunteer and BAC friend, Andre Bohy allowed wounded Iraqi war vet, Sgt. 1st Class Frances Montes Crawford the chance to fly to Florida to see her son graduate high school. Learn how Sgt. Montes discovered that through this very special nonprofit organization, there is such thing as a free ride. Learn more about her story and the wonderful organization that gives wounded military personnel the ability to fly free of charge for medical care, special occasions and other compassionate purposes in this article from The Fay Observer, June 19, 2011 issue.
If you're a pilot interested in donating your time to our wounded warriors, learn more at the Veterans Airlift Command site.
