It’s a challenge for a healthy person.

I often think how awful that would be for AngelFlight folks, many of whom would need a to find a wheelchair or maybe in they're in middle of some unpleasant cancer treatment or perhaps trying to look after a sick, fractious child. The Angel Flight approach is seemless. Pilot hands over to Earth Angel, car might even be right next to the plane. There’s a friendly face with them all the way and they’re not dumped in one of those impersonal hostile concrete jungles.

Angel Flight is so much more than just flying. I do hope they get that bit sorted because they do a wonderful job.
Well said and therein lies many of the reasons for which they exist.
