Your jet collects dust in hangar? Donate some time to charity!

For some of them it's vital - organs recipients, who have waited on the list for too long and now have to get to a hospital really quick , etc. So join the ranks and one of the nonprofit organizations and let your strong hands give support and wings to people too poor to afford a luxury of private jet.
