In this inspiring live interview from EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, we sit down with two amazing guests from Wings of Hope, the Missouri-based humanitarian aviation nonprofit that’s been changing and saving lives through the power of flight since 1963.
Join us as we explore how Wings of Hope uses general aviation to make a powerful impact — from providing free medical air transportation for patients who need specialized care, to connecting remote communities with vital resources both in the U.S. and around the world.
We dig into:
✈️ Who Wings of Hope is — a global humanitarian aviation nonprofit headquartered at Spirit of St. Louis Airport in Chesterfield, Missouri with a mission to change and save lives through aviation.
🚑 Medical Relief & Air Transport (MAT) — how they fly patients and caregivers free of charge across states to access specialty medical care — often removing financial and logistical barriers that can be life-changing.
🌍 Global impact — the organization’s partnerships with community groups in multiple countries to aid health care delivery and humanitarian support.
👩🔧 SOAR into STEM — their hands-on education program designed to inspire and equip the next generation of aviators, engineers, and STEM leaders.
Whether you’re passionate about aviation, nonprofit impact, or the intersection of flight and community service, this conversation highlights how general aviation can literally lift people up — physically and emotionally.
