The Ultimate Wingman
PALS and its Chairman Joe Howley were featured in Greenwich Magazine in an eight-page spread entitled "The Ultimate Wingman". The article talks about our founding and our mission. Extracts:
"For Joe Howley owning his own plane is not about luxury, it’s about philanthropy. As a cofounder of Patient Airlift Services, the Greenwich resident has helped hundreds of sick and terminally ill people get the care they need.
"Tom Daley* desperately needed a lung transplant. He had been an urgent case on the organ donor list for four weeks. When he finally got the call that a lung was available at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Daley didn’t have to scramble to figure out how he would get there from Bayside, New York. Within four hours of the call, a private plane was waiting for him at Westchester County Airport. Daley would not be billed a penny. The pilot would not be paid a cent for his time, the use of his plane, or fuel.
"Daley’s flight and hundreds more like it have been made possible by a new organization called Patient Airlift Services (PALS). PALS is made up of volunteer private pilots—forty at last count—who, as co-founder and Greenwich resident Joe Howley says, “have a passion for helping people.” Most of the pilots have other jobs—many are high-powered executives—but they make time to fly for PALS. Moreover, they use planes that they own or rent themselves, and they absorb all the costs of the flights."
The magazine contains several great in-flight and pre- and post-flight photos. A printer-friendly version of the article is available at this link: http://mofflymedia.com/core/pagetools.php?pageid=8882&url=%2FMoffly-Publications%2FGreenwich-Magazine%2FNovember-2010%2FThe-Ultimate-Wingman%2F&mode=print
