Connecting those in need with pilots who can help, Angel Flight is
an organization dedicated to offering the very best of General Aviation
to the world. Pilots and companies who are able to volunteer their
services to bring medical patients to the places where care can be
given are rewarded with payment that can be far more valuable than
money: the satisfaction of helping another person and contributing to
make a difference.
The Experimental Aircraft Association created the Young Eagles Program
in 1992 to give interested young people (age 8-17) an opportunity to
take a flight in a general aviation airplane. Spreading interest to our
kids is an important part of preserving the past and present of
aviation as well as growing the industry in new directions in the
future.
Established in Los Angeles in 1992, the American Heroes Air Show began
as a grass-roots community effort to celebrate the dynamic role of
helicopters in law enforcement, fire service, search and rescue, and
national defense. Designed initially to publically recognize the
"benefits that helicopters bring to our community," and to recognize
the pilots and crewmembers who serve the citizens of Southern
California, this non-profit event has gone national. Today,
"American Heroes" events are held in six major U.S. cities. AHAS
has proven to be an outstanding good-will ambassador for the helicopter
industry, promoting safety, flying neighborly, and a positive public
image of the helicopter.
The Professional Helicopter Pilots Association headquartered in Los
Angeles was formed in the mid-1960’s and has a long history of
volunteers who recognized the need for an organization that would help
guarantee the strength of our industry for years to come. Their mission
is to coordinate efforts towards improving communications, methods of
operation within the airspace system, or any other area that will
contribute to the safety and education of all pilots; to provide a
forum for identifying and seeking resolution to local problems of
interest to the membership; and to promote community relations between
the public and the helicopter industry.
