Giving Life-Changing Flight Experiences to Those Who Need Them Most
Using the power of general aviation to uplift, inspire, and bring life-changing moments to those who otherwise might never experience the beauty of flight. Your donations make these experiences possible, funding charitable flights and supporting meaningful aviation missions that touch lives and create lasting memories.
Who we are
At More Than 1500, we believe that the gift of flight has the power to change lives. For many, the sky is a place they may never have the chance to reach. Our nonprofit exists to open that world, to share the wonder of general aviation with those who need hope, joy, and inspiration the most.
Our mission is simple but profound: to give children, first responders, veterans, and individuals with a desire to experience flight the opportunity to soar at no cost to them. Every flight we provide is made possible through the generosity of donors who share our vision of hope, joy, and wonder in the skies. Your support also allows us to participate in meaningful aviation missions, including flights coordinated through organizations like Angel Flight West, helping bring people closer to the care and assistance they need.
The name “More Than 1500” reflects our mission: it’s not just about achieving 1,500 flight hours — it’s about giving back, making a difference, and using aviation to change lives. Through every flight, every donation, and every volunteer effort, we aim to lift spirits higher and create memories that last a lifetime.
