We're so grateful to our partners at @ArcadiaJets1 for their incredible support in donating a percentage of the profits from aircraft transactions to Angel Flight West.
“When we opened Arcadia Jets, we committed ourselves to doing things differently than what you’d expect from a traditional aircraft broker,” explained Adam Hahn, CEO of Arcadia Jets. “We wanted to do something that was in the spirit of what owning a private aircraft really is – the ability to travel whenever and wherever you need.” “And what better way to do that than to commit a portion of our profits from each transaction to supporting Angel Flight West? An organization built on the use of private aircraft to help people with non-emergency medical and other needs travel easily to obtain the life-enhancing services they need,” he added. “To provide even more momentum, we are also asking our customers and others in business and private aviation to join us in supporting AFW’s mission goals.” About Angel Flight West Angel Flight West delivers health and hope using donated flights to serve those with healthcare or other compelling human needs. In the air, Angel Flight West links volunteer pilots and commercial airlines with people whose non-emergency health needs require long-distance travel to access care. On the ground, volunteer drivers ferry passengers to and from their departure and destination airports.

"I’ve been given a lot in my life, including a great profession with the fire dept, my health and flight training. I love to fly, and I want to give back. It’s one less thing for patients to worry about and it’s very fulfilling to be part of this mission." -#Pilot Mark Duncan

Forty years ago a small group of #pilots gathered at #SantaMonicaAirport. They shared a love of flying and wanted to make a difference. They found a handful of people to fly to care, and that was the beginning of AFW. #aviation Celebrate with us: endeavorawards.org
