Let's tell the world why we fly.

Public Benefit Flying Day:

What's Happening?

We are raising awareness for public benefit flying. Join us!

What is Public Benefit Flying?

Simply put, Public Benefit Flying is flying to help others.

Every day, volunteer pilots do just that.

Using their own aircraft, and donating their time, hard-earned skills, and all flight expenses, they assist the health and well being of others.

Volunteer pilots serve the needs of humanity by:

Providing access to distant medical care for patients in need

Relocating endangered animals to better homes or better habitats

Flying to support conservation initiatives

Offering unique flight experiences to children

Responding to natural disasters

Flying to support our veterans

And much more!
