As Angel Flight NE celebrates 30 years of ensuring that distance is never a barrier to life-saving medical care, we’re proud to recognize one of our most enduring partners, Cape Air.

Since Angel Flight NE’s very first year in 1996, Cape Air has believed in our mission, partnered and supported us by helping patients throughout the Northeast access the specialized medical care they need. For three decades, their generosity and commitment have been an essential part of our mission, and we are incredibly grateful for their unwavering support.

Recently, Cape Air unveiled a stunning new commemorative aircraft in partnership with America250 to celebrate our nation’s 250th anniversary. The custom-painted Cessna 402C features a patriotic “We the People” design and will fly throughout Cape Air’s route network, honoring our country’s history while connecting communities across the Northeast.

We couldn’t imagine a more fitting passenger for one of this aircraft’s early Angel Flight NE missions than LeslieAnne.

LeslieAnne, a military veteran from Bar Harbor, Maine, recently took her very first Angel Flight NE mission aboard this beautiful aircraft as she traveled to Boston for treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Through our Angels for Armed Forces® Program, Angel Flight NE provides free flights to military personnel, veterans and their families who need access to medical care or other support services. LeslieAnne’s journey beautifully reflects the spirit of service, resilience, and partnership that both Cape Air and Angel Flight NE have shared for the past 30 years.

Congratulations to our friends at Cape Air on the unveiling of this remarkable aircraft. We are honored that one of our patients had the opportunity to experience her very first Angel Flight NE mission aboard this special plane, and we look forward to continuing our partnership to ensure our nation’s veterans and patients can access the care they need.

Thank you, Cape Air, for your generous partnership with Angel Flight NE since the very beginning. For 30 years, your partnership has helped ensure that distance is never a barrier to care, bringing hope to thousands of patients and families across the Northeast.

Here’s to celebrating our shared history, and to many more years of changing lives together.
