Angel Flights West offering free flights for those in medical need

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- A network of volunteer pilots is making lasting impacts on passengers in need of transportation for medical needs.

Angel Flight West has served more than 30,000 people over 43 years of service.

Action News anchor Vanessa Vasconcelos spoke to one of our local pilots about his experience providing free, life-changing flights.

The organization depends on donations to provide free flights and you can donate anytime on their website.
