LifeLine Pilots

☀ Summer is almost here, and we’re on the final approach. Less than two weeks to go! School’s out, calendars are filling up with vacations, barbeques, graduation parties, and time with family and friends is top of mind.

But one thing never takes a vacation....
the need for medical care.

🗺 This map is a snapshot of our upcoming scheduled flights. Each route represents a patient traveling to essential medical care they might otherwise delay (or even forgo) simply because of distance, time, and cost.

For 45 years, LifeLine Pilots has remained committed to the belief that no one should go without medical care because of where they live.

Let's celebrate Brad! ✨ He's been a LifeLine Pilots volunteer for at least 17 years now, and has flown over 50 missions! While Brad is based in Indiana, he often will (literally) go out of his way to help passengers get to medical care. He's flown people from Illinois to Tennessee, Michigan to Illinois, Wisconsin to Michigan, and so on. Thank you for being a volunteer pilot, Brad. Congrats on 50 missions!

Seven-year-old Maverick recently traveled more than 700 miles to receive care at Shriners Children's.

Thanks to LifeLine Pilots’ volunteers and donors, he and his family were able to fly comfortably, conveniently, and completely free of charge. ✈️💙

Mid-flight nap! ✈️💙

Three-year-old Reece napped comfortably while traveling with her mom and volunteer pilot Mike to and from specialty care appointments at Cincinnati Children's Hospital.

Free flights with LifeLine Pilots are more than transportation; they make it possible for patients and their families to:
➡️ Reduce travel time and costs while minimizing missed or unpaid workdays
➡️ Travel quickly and comfortably for follow-up appointments and maintain continuity of care
➡️ Focus on their health and well-being instead of the journey
