COVER STORY
Helping Friends
When there are enough patients needing medical transportation in the same desti- nation, a King Air comes in handy. Wayne Petrus, third from right, flew this group of patients and companions from Louisiana to Houston, Texas, in a Beechcraft King Air C90A Blackhawk model. The airplane is one of five for which Petrus is a profes- sional contract pilot.
Pilots for Patients allowed this patient, shown sitting in the back between her daughter and pilot Wayne Petrus, to spend time with her three children in Monroe, Louisiana, while taking weekly treatments for terminal breast cancer in Houston, Texas.
