Ronda Carter flew on Corporate Angel Network's (CAN) 40,000th flight from her home in rural North Carolina to meet with a breast-cancer specialist in New York. When asked about the flight, she said: "Cancer can make a person feel singled out in a negative way. Being the 40,000th passenger makes me feel singled out in a wonderful way. It's my first trip with CAN and my first corporate flight for treatment at Memorial Sloan-Kettering after being diagnosed with Stage IV cancer in January. I'm proud to be a milestone passenger." CAN arranges free air transportation for cancer patients traveling to recognized cancer-treatment centers throughout the U.S. by using the empty seats on corporate aircraft that are already flying to those destinations.

King Schools has released a new online Flight Instructor Refresher Course. "This FIRC moves away from reviewing the same topics that flight instructors learned as private pilots, and instead gives flight instructors more insight on issues such as identifying and changing at-risk behaviors and conducting an effective flight review," said John King. Additionally, King Schools says the FIRC is the first such course to incorporate a paperwork-free, completely online, renewal process. "Instructors will be able to complete the renewal requirements without ever having to move away from their computer, and will receive their temporary certificate by email," commented King.

Thierry Pouille, president of Air Journey, donated his Beechcraft Baron E55 to Bahamas Habitat. Air Journey shows pilots the joy of flying in their own plane in small groups to destinations such as the Bahamas, Central America, Europe, South America and many others.

Through the direction of Neil Glazer of Pilot Mall, they teamed up with Bahamas Habitat to bring supplies and help to the devastated Cat Island. Prior to the donation, the Baron was the Pouille family aircraft since May 2000 and was used for travel to many beautiful destinations and exciting discoveries.
