Performance Flight joins forces with Angel Flight Northeast

April 13, 2010 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
White Plains, NY & North Andover, MA - In an effort to offer pilots new and exciting goals, Performance Flight, a nationally recognized leader in flight training, has formed a cooperative relationship with Angel Flight Northeast (NE), a non-profit organization whose volunteer pilots provide free flights to those in need of critical medical care .

"Pilots need goals to challenge them and give them an excuse to fly. I can't think of a better mission than providing assistance to someone requiring medical attention in need of transportation," says Lewis Liebert, President and CEO of Performance Flight. "To support this initiative, Performance Flight will offer discounts for aircraft rental and flight instruction for all Angel Flight NE missions."

Many Performance Flight clients do not yet have enough flight experience to conduct an Angel Flight NE mission on their own, so Performance Flight is encouraging pilots to conduct the flight under the supervision of a Certified Flight Instructor. "Our instructors are all high-hour, Angel Flight Northeast volunteer pilots who can mentor a pilot until they reach the required experience level to conduct an Angel Flight NE mission," says Liebert.

"Angel Flight NE is excited about collaborating with Performance Flight on this program," says Larry Camerlin, President of Angel Flight Northeast. "By Performance Flight extending discounted rates on flight instruction, it will not only enable pilots to get back to what they love doing, but also enable us to help more people in need of our services."
