Jet Aviation, Landmark Aviation Contribute To The Cause
Able Flight's national scholorship
program has received donations from Jet Aviation and Landmark
Aviation to assist with their mission to provide flight
training for people with physical disabilities. In 2006, Jet
Aviation was one of the founding sponsors of Able Flight, and
Landmark is the nonprofit's newest sponsor.
In a unique arrangement with Jet Aviation, Landmark's support
represents a donation of 2 cents for every gallon of fuel Jet
Aviation purchases from Landmark. The Landmark donation for 2010
was made in support of Able Flight's new dedicated fund to provide
scholarships for wounded veterans.

Flight Services, Inc., Dan Bucaro, president of Landmark Aviation,
and Eric Faulkner and Jim Hopkins of Landmark Aviation.

Landmark Aviation Donation To Able Flight
"We are honored to have Jet Aviation return for their fifth year
as our partner in using aviation to change the lives of people who
are dealing with the effects of a catastrophic injury or illness,"
said Stites. " And we welcome Landmark Aviation. With their gift
added to the fundraising efforts of our Freedom Flight 2011
project, we now have funding for one of two scholarships we plan to
award to wounded veterans for training in 2011."
