From Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota to Montrose, Colorado
Tamara lives in a small community near Montrose, Colorado but her health care team is in Rochester, Minnesota. Some might ask, why make this long voyage in a small plane, isn't a commercial airline faster? Commercial airlines will allow passengers to fly that are sick. For those with depleted immune systems like Tamara, a commercial airline puts her at risk of contracting a life threatening illness In a small plane, the exposure to others is tightly controlled as we can assure there is no one else on-board with the sniffles or other infectious disease. The 2 volunteer pilots participating from the Colorado Chapter wish to extent a sincere thank you to the pilots from the Minnesota chapter who met us half way, saving a great deal of flying time.

From Denver, Colorado to Winner, South Dakota
Neal found himself in Denver after a recent medical treatment but had no means to return to his home in South Dakota. Safety is paramount and there are occasions where it is not safe to fly due to icy clouds, but the roads are clear. This is where our volunteer AutoPilots come to the rescue. One of our volunteer AutoPilots drove Neal home from Denver to Winner South Dakota. We do our very best to find a way.

Denver, Colorado to Billings, Montana
There are times when more than one person is in need of transportation to and from the same place at the same time. This is one of those times. We were happy to be there and to be of service in the Lord's name, helping our neighbors in need return home.

Montrose, Colorado to Rochester Minnesota
To ensure Tamara can live a normal life at low risk of infections during this critical period in her treatment, it was critical that she not be exposed to others who might be ill. This is where Pilots for Christ was able to help. In a small plane, the exposure to others is tightly controlled as we can assure there is no one else on-board with an infectious disease. We are also able to coordinate with other Pilots for Christ Chapters. In this case, not only did the Minnesota chapter participate in the mission flight, but when the weather turned ugly, they provided Tamara with a safe and comfortable place to stay until the weather cleared.

Denver, Colorado to Alamosa, Colorado
A very short flight after a long stay in the hospital is a welcome blessing compared a long car drive through the Sangre de Cristo from Denver to Alamosa. It is our pleasure to be able to serve our neighbors, in their time of need, in our Lord Jesus' name.

Ready to assist in your time of need
Mike, a resident of Grand Forks
North Dakota was healing at the Life Care Center of Aurora. After many months in the Denver area, Mike’s
desire to return home was understandable.
With no local family in the surrounding states, limited financial means,
and with no commercial transportation service available to his home town, Mike
was short on options. Fortuitously Mike
found Pilots for Christ, Colorado Chapter.
Our chapter coordinated with other Pilots for Christ Chapters to
coordinate Transportation from Denver to Grand Forks.

Compassion and Service, Family to Family
James, a resident of Cortez, Colorado spent many weeks at the University of Colorado Hospital receiving life saving medical care. Since it is over a 7-hours drive one-way from Denver to Cortez, it would have been too much to bear to drive home. Fortunately, Pilots for Christ, Colorado Chapter was standing by. James was reunited with his family who were grateful for the blessing of the relatively short flight. We were pleased to be of service.

Can
you take me home? Yes, yes we can.
Larry, a resident of Cortez,
Colorado was rushed to the University of Colorado Hospital (UCHealth.org) for
life saving medical treatment. Once Larry was again ambulatory and his
ailments were no longer in need of immediate medical attention, Larry was eager
to return home. Unfortunately, his
family did not have the financial means to be able to provide commercial transportation
home. Since it is over a 7-hours drive one-way
from Denver to Cortez, it would have been very unpleasant to drive due to
recent surgeries. Fortunately, he found Pilots for Christ, Colorado
Chapter. A Pilots for Christ “Auto Pilot” picked up Larry from his hospital
room and drove him to a local airport where one of our volunteer pilots was
standing by. In a relatively short 2-hour flight, Larry was home again. He was thankful for the ride and we were thankful
to be able to serve.
