I had a look at Angel Flight about 12 months ago, with a view to ultimately helping out in a flying capacity. Unfortunately my random availability meant I was, rightly, unsuitable. Whilst I applaud the thrust behind the organisation and the terrific work done by those who serve it in many different capacities, I was more than a tad concerned by the low experience minimums required. I'm sure there are some skilled and safe 250 PIC time pilots out there, but that minimum seems low for this task. It's a difficult problem, they need pilots to help and perhaps those with more desirable experience do not have the time nor means to lend a hand. All the best to them, a very noble cause - hope it can all be done safely.
