Lifeline Pilots – Peoria, IL
Lifeline
Pilots is a non-profit organization established in 1981 in an effort to connect
private pilots with people who needed transportation to medical centers. The
original criteria was emergency, so most of the missions involved organ
transplants. It later expanded to any medical or humanitarian need. There is
never a charge for the service. The first year there were eight missions. In
2012, there were 429 missions. To date, over 7,400 missions have been flown
covering over 4,000,000 miles.
