What is the purpose of the special call sign that Angel Flights use to
distinguish themselves?


According to Angel Flight West the call sign "indicates to ATC the '...need
for appropriate (but not priority) handling by ATC'."

According to an Air Traffic Bulletin issued six years ago use of the call
sign identifies the flight as a non-profit, charitable, community service
involving no priority handling, but minimal delay would be appreciated.
