About Dave Pechan

Pechan is a pilot with Angel Flight America, a nonprofit group of 6,000 private pilots nationwide who volunteer to help in times of crisis. Mainly that means shuttling children stricken with cancer to and from treatments when their parents cannot afford commercial airliners, but since Angel Flight signed an agreement with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in August, it means helping out in natural disasters and other emergencies.

Pechan plans to assist in the hurricane relief area by carrying supplies to rural towns that still do not have any road access and which have not received any government aid.
