Comment by Shaun
"Another enjoyable Angel Flight. Adam and Robin are the most delightful people. Enjoyed their company on the way down to a very windy Essendon. The flight up to Mildura lasted an eternity against some pretty strong winds, but was more than made up on the way home."

Comment by Anthony
"It was truly a great experience to perform my first Angel Flight. As a doctor I guess I have been helping people most of my life but this was quite different. Adam is a normal young adult who has been struck down in the prime of his life, it could have been my son. His mother, Robyn, could not believe there were so many pilots and others willing to donate their time, their aircraft and their skills. Both are extremely garteful. Truly an uplifting experience."
