What if your airplane could do more than get you from point A to point B?
For ACA President and Volunteer Pilot Mark Hanson, his Eclipse jet has become a powerful tool for changing lives. Through charitable aviation organizations, he donates both his time and aircraft to help patients, veterans, and families reach critical medical care and other essential destinations.
His story is a reminder that aviation is about more than technology, performance, or destinations — it’s about people. Every flight has the potential to make a real difference.
There are opportunities to use your passion for aviation to serve others, and Mark’s experience shows how rewarding it can be to turn flight hours into acts of generosity.
Take a moment to hear more from Mark during his interview on Sporty’s Pilot Shop Podcast.
