I was thinking about jointing/volunteering for Angel Flight of Oklahoma as a
pilot.

Very nice of you.

Would a low time VFR pilot be of any use to them? I have 190 hr soon to
be 200hr, when we get some good flying weather.

I cannot comment on your branch of Angel Flight, but the two in the
Northeast US to which I belong require an instrument rating, 300 hours
total time, and 25 hours of actual instrument time.

When I had first heard of Angel Flight, I was finishing up my instrument
rating and was below the total time/instrument time requirement. However,
this became a goal for me, so I flew several times to reach their
requirements. This was in 2003.

If your branch of Angel Flight does have an instrument rating requirement,
you could still volunteer to be a co-pilot and team up with an instrument
rated pilot, or you could use this as a good excuse to get your instrument
rating.

I have flown only 3 times since
November. Because VFR flying is unreliable, I wonder if I could be of value.

I went to Angel Flight of Oklahoma web site and they said a non-IFR pilot could
act as co-pilot or fly non-passenger flight. I have 4hr of instrument training
for my private licence and I know nothing about IFR. My IFR training is "MAYDAY,
MAYDAY, MADAY" and make a 180. I can't imagine what a non-passenger flight would
be.

If you've been there - done that, could explain what I might be doing?

Again, you still could be very valuable as a pilot in the right seat. When
I fly an AF mission to Boston Logan, I prefer to take along another pilot
to assist with all off the duties and awareness in congested airspace.

There is also a need for volunteers to assist with ground transportation,
which involves shuttling the patients to the airport for departure.
However, with your piloting skills you no doubt would prefer to be in the
cockpit.

And finally, there is also a need for people to help spread the word about
AF and recruit other volunteers.

IMO, flying for AF is very rewarding and I hope you are able to find a way
to help this incredible organization.
