All 102 Airports Visited
Sixteen hours, nine minutes and 21 seconds after an early
morning departure from Dulles International Airport on Wednesday,
March 17, Lt. Col. Lindy Kirkland and Maj. Rob Krieg returned to
cheering family members and friends, having touched 102 Virginia
airports and raised awareness-and money-for Angel Flight East. The
nonprofit organization provides free air transportation for those
in need of medical treatment far from their homes through its
volunteer fleet of pilots and aircraft owners. Operation Centennial
Angel's "Angel 100," forced to wait a day due to bad weather on the
East Coast, began at 5:10 a.m. and ended about 9:20 p.m.
