Medical Transportation for Special Needs
Children's Flight

Life Line Pilots:
Founded in 1981 by Wanda Whitsitt of Champaign, IL, LifeLine Pilots,
501(c)(3), began as a small group of pilots in Illinois who
envisioned using their special skill of flying to help people with
emergencies to reach medical centers. Originally, there were 40
pilots coordinated by a group of volunteers. A total of 40 missions
were flown the first three years. After five years, the group
separated from the state agency in order to expand the service area
outside of Illinois. The criteria were expanded to include financial
need and logistical concerns as well as a time element. An answering
service was engaged to take calls and refer them to the volunteer
mission coordinators who were board members. Our 100th mission was
flown in 1987.
