3. Angel Flight:  n.
Angel Flight is the name used by a number of groups whose members provide free transportation for needy 5 patients and perform other missions of community service. Such a non-profit organization may be located in the United States, Europe, Australia, or Canada and they, like other Public Benefit Flying (PBF) organizations, help arrange free, non-emergency transportation for patients who require medical treatment but who cannot afford to pay for a commercial flight. Transportation is provided by volunteer pilots, often using their own private general aviation aircraft. In most of Canada, the Volunteer Pilot Program of Hope Air provides a similar service, along with Angel Flight of Vancouver. The only complete list of all the Angel Flight and other Public Benefit Flying Organizations is maintained by the Air Care Alliance.
