To my knowledge, we've never turned down a flight to anyone who qualified.

I want to get to people who can personally get to those who need our help. That's my goal.

If someone calls for service (from Cortez), he or she will get the same treatment as if there was a pilot from out of these parts. A pilot can fly in from Albuquerque, Denver or Phoenix to pick up people (in Cortez or Durango) who may need special care.

It's a lost art in our society to help others to this extent. Our pilots use their own planes and fuel to serve those with certain (conditions).
