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."
