Sunfish... Label me however you like, but I will not retract my opinion.

Yes, any A/C can crash. But the punters that jump on board an Angel Flight really take pot luck with who's flying them and in what equipment. One day they could get a highly experienced pilot in a good A/C, then next a brand new PPL in a busted ass 172.

What audits do pilots/aircraft go through, what minimum experience is required prior to a certain flight being undertaken etc etc..

There heart is in the right place, but does joe public really know who is flying him/her around?

** note that I am not speculating on this particular crash and its' cause.
