Pilots Can Be Involved In Mission Flying And Disaster
Relief
Bahamas Habitat announced Tuesday their Fly-In & Help Out
mission flight to Eleuthera in the Bahamas is scheduled for
Thursday, October 21st through Sunday, October 24th, 2010.
The organization is extending an open invitation to all interested
aircraft owners and pilots to join in this mission group flight.
The trip serves as a starting point for being involved with Bahamas
Habitat and its various mission flying opportunities and disaster
relief efforts.
"Every trip we have pilots join the Fly-In and Help Out event
and enjoy an adventure and make a difference while they learn what
it takes to be involved in mission flying. What makes this mission
opportunity so unique for aircraft owners is that the Bahamas are
easily accessible by aircraft but are so in need that it provides
the ideal opportunity for a mission minded pilot to give back to a
neighboring community in an exciting and tax deductible way,"
explained John Armstrong, President and Chairman of Bahamas
Habitat.
Pilots and crewmembers participating in the Fly-In & Help
Out mission will meet at Fort Pierce Airport (KFPR) on Thursday,
October 21st for lunch and pilot briefings prior to departing to
Eleuthera. Lodging and transportation on the island are arranged
for the group.
"If you've ever wanted to be involved in mission flying,
disaster relief flying or just wanted to fly your airplane to the
Bahamas, this is the perfect way to learn the ropes while
supporting a good cause," Armstrong said. "We had pilots join us
from all over for our last Fly-In & Help Out event and in every
case the experience really touched their hearts. We can house up to
60 people at Camp Symonette our base camp on Eleuthera. The trip
shows our pilots how to make the flight to the Bahamas and connects
them with the mission camp and all of our mission flying
opportunities. Most participants also help spread the word to their
church and civic groups for future mission opportunities."
