About
The organization provides free air transportation for medical and other compassionate purposes to wounded warriors, veterans and their families through a national network of volunteer aircraft owners and pilots. Such air transportation will be provided to these individuals when other practical means of transportation are inadequate or unavailable. During 2019, the volunteers of Veterans Airlift Command flew 1,461 passengers 1,019,001 miles. Aircraft owners and pilots contribute their time and aircraft to accomplish each mission. The value of this donation, based on nationally published hourly rates based on the aircraft used, was $3,464,031 in 2019. The rates used are for the cost of the aircraft operation and not the crew.
