Default Angel Flight gets some good local press

The following made the Sunday edition of the Houston Chronicle, the only
daily English paper in the 4th Largest US city.

http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory...olitan/3126650

The first few viewings are "free", after that, repeated browsing
requires a free registration. First couple paragraphs pasted.

On a side note, this article played out in the Chronicle's "This Week"
segment which is a weekly "community-specific" section of the paper -
stuff local interest, area Chamber of Commerce, school stuff..




Patients' 'angels' still flying high
Volunteer pilots offer free flights for out-of-towners treated in Texas
and 6 other states

In the big state of Texas, patients sometimes have to drive hours just
to get to the hospital.

So a group of volunteer small-plane pilots got an idea: Why not offer to
fly patients to the hospital?

That was in 1991. Fourteen years later, Angel Flight South Central has
flown 11,000 patient flights. The organization also provides service to
six nearby states.......
