Charitable Flights

Any one know of any organization besides Angel Flight for making tax
deductible flights in
Los Angeles?

I've nothing against Angel Flights, I'm just looking for other options
too. Preferable a bit less
structured and scheduled. I do meet the AF requirements for mission
pilots.

Supposedly animal shelters/rescues have a need for pilots to transport
animals. There is an article about it at
http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2008/aug/05/pilot-shepherds-dogs-shelter-rescues-fostering/,
and a thread regarding this at http://forums.aopa.org/showthread.php?t=45441.

CAP does. I deduct some proficiency flying and yearly checkouts (which can
also count as a BFR). I'm sure there are a number of squadrons in the LA
area. You also get to fly their airplanes for free while flying missions.

I would think that the "structured and scheduled" aspect of AF is a
necessary part of any organization that is flying patients to doctors and
treatments. Unfortunately, the doctors and clinics function on appointments
that are scheduled in advance, and can not be easily changed.

Perhaps something like "Make a Wish Foundation" would be a less scheduled
group that you could feel good helping out.
