I can't imagine what a non-passenger flight would be.

One example would be flying organs from an organ donor to a recipient.

No need to be rude. There could be any number of reasons why your post did

Do you have to own your own plane for this?
yes

No, or at least no at AFSC. You can rent. 100% of the rental fee is
tax deductible.

Beg to differ but you can rent a plane and fly an A/F mission. On topic, I
would definitely use the copilot option while I got my I/R. Angel Flight is
one of the best ways to be an ambassador on GA.

Besides, some of the best flights I've flown have been angel flights.

yes (to o you have to own your plane for Angel Flight?)

BTW, I know a CFII, Type rated up to a 737, who has 4 hours of actual IFR
(He's in Arizona)
I think time in type is as important.

When I joined AFNE a few years ago, their Pilot Manual did assert a
requirement of 25 hours of IMC. I had nowhere near that, and told them
so. They said the requirement was a typo, and that the real requirement
is just for 25 hours of (any kind of) instrument time. So I've been
flying Angel Flight missions ever since (and I still have only 20 hours
of IMC).

25 hours seems like it would be hard to get. I have 22, and I was
actively seeking it out. There wasn't much IMC where I lived that didn't
include thunderstorms or ice.

Here, we don't get any kind of IMC, so it looks like I'll be stuck at 22
for a very long time.

Same for AFNE. I use rental planes for AF missions.

Gary,

Isn't that god-awful expensive?
