GAMA Applauds Veterans Airlift Command

Recognized For Flying 10,000 Combat-Wounded Passengers And Families

GAMA has recognized and congratulated the Veterans Airlift Command (VAC) on flying their 10,000th passenger. The flight took place from Gaithersburg, Maryland to the St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport in Florida.

The VAC is a volunteer organization that coordinates a U.S. network of volunteer aircraft owners and pilots to provide free air transportation to post-9/11 combat-wounded veterans and their families for medical and other compassionate purposes.

“The Veterans Airlift Command provides an invaluable service to those brave men and women who have given so much in the defense of freedom,” said GAMA President and CEO Pete Bunce. “The historic milestone of transporting the 10,000th passenger demonstrates the commitment to warriors wounded or injured during this long war against terrorism and the passion of the general aviation community to support these heroes and their families as long as there is a need.”
