Angel Flight means nothing to ATC, most controllers don't even know
what it is. And why would you put it in the remarks and not just use
the three letter ID allocated to Angel Flight(NGF)?

Angel Flight Mid Atlantic instructs its pilots to use the Angel Flight
call sign and file a flight plan (N1701D becomes NGF01D and the call
sign is "Angel Flight Zero One Delta) and to put the actual
registration number into the remarks as follows:

N1701D ANGEL FLIGHT MID ATLANTIC

I don't have any idea what, if anything, it means to ATC. I do it.

I think I may have been given some consideration in choice of
altitudes for example, because of the AF call sign. Can't prove it,
though.

Many times I've received flight following with the Angel Flight call
sign while everyone else was being told "unable".
