Thank you for your interest in Angel Flight where you can use your general aviation skills to help people in need. Angel Flight Oklahoma arranges free transportation to medical treatment in the country’s heartland for those people who cannot reach needed care because of the cost, or they are too ill to fly commercially or drive long distances. We would be honored to have you join our special volunteers in this unique community service.
Please note that there are several Public Benefit Flying Organizations across the US, including Angel Flight, Oklahoma. If you volunteer on this site, your application will go to Angel Flight, Oklahoma. If you live outside of Oklahoma and the surrounding area, you may wish to apply to a Public Benefit Flying Organization near you; please check our locator page to locate a Public Benefit Flying Organization in your area.
By coordinating with other organizations, Angel Flight Oklahoma can arrange transportation for patients on longer flights to other parts of the country outside of the Heartland region. Angel Flight has also flown blood products for the Oklahoma Blood Institute and Red Cross in emergency situations. Our Patients are usually traveling for surgery, chemotherapy, dialysis, and other treatments. A typical flight may carry patients requiring treatment at M.D. Anderson in Houston or the Shriner Hospital in Galveston, TX.
