To help fund and expand its many humanitarian projects, Wings of Hope will be holding monthly aircraft auctions. For details on our projects, the auction bidding process, as well as aircraft being auctioned please go to https://www.wingsofhope.ngo and then click on the blue Aircraft Auction...

Correct on the event -- it's our annual volunteer luncheon, an event where all of Wings of Hope's functions (flight ops, nursing team, admin, purchasing, mechanics, accountants) get together. It also includes Wings of Hope alumni, major donors, patients (past and present), plus...

Just a note to mention that online ticket sales for Wings of Hope's raffle starts at 6:00 a.m. this coming Saturday. Prior raffles have sold out in less than 1 day, so set those alarm clocks, OK? ....and many, many thanks for your support of our ongoing medical airlift program! Here's the...

Hi....just a quick note regarding the plane's pic on the raffle website www.wingsofhope.ngo The photo shows no fairing on the nose wheel -- it was removed for inspection and hadn't been remounted at the time we decided to photograph. No worry....all 3 wheels will have fairing. If you've...

4000 tickets....same as last raffle. Same price as well -- $50 each or 3 for $125 Avionics: Dual KX-175 Nav/Com with GS, KMA 24 audio panel, PS Engineering intercom, KN-62A DME, Stratus ESG transponder ASB, Stratus 2i ADSB in receiver, Piper autopilot.

As we update the web page....and on postcards many of you will receive around March 10....it'll state that the tickets go on sale April 1 at 6:00 a.m. CST. We were amazed when the last raffle sold out in 12 hrs.! No change in pricing: $50 ea. or 3 for $125.

Last year, thanks to your continuing support of our aircraft raffles, we were able to transport 285 seriously ill patients via 498 flights to and from the very best medical treatment previously unavailable or unknown to them......and at no cost to them nor any external group or agency. For our...

OK....this is NOT official but the drawing was just held. Apparently Chris is a lucky name. Chris in Alabama just won the plane and Chris in N. Dakota is the winner of the scholarship. Official notice will be via phone calls to the winners. Congratulations to the winners and mega-thanks to...

OK....here's the news in case you haven't already seen it on our website.....the plane drawing will be held at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, October 25. It'll take place as usual at our hangar/headquarters in Chesterfield, MO which adjoins Spirit Airport (SUS). Y'all come, OK? :yeahthat: The...

Well, this raffle sold out in 12 hours!! Hard to believe. Thanks to all who participated as well as those who responded to our survey on how future raffles should be structured. So....when's the drawing? Date hasn't been set yet. We need to validate all tickets sold.......i.e., did each...

Only 400 tickets left as of 4:00 PM CDT. Thanks for the support! Six Papa needs some sort of an award for creativity!

I'm a bit out of my element but let's see if this addresses labbadabba's question: 1) Current radio is a dual Terra navcom -- TX 720 Comm and TN 200 Nav. No doubt you'll want to use some of the $10,000 credit to replace this system with one of your choice. 2) We will deliver this plane with...

Lemme see here.....100 tickets @ $1.00 ea = $100.00. Hmm.....that wouldn't even cover one leg of our average medical mission. No doubt we're missing something, right? One of the main drivers of this raffle is that we're experiencing a 50% increase our volume of medical missions this year...

Much to our delight and surprise our last raffle sold out in less than 23 hours! This left a lot of folks high and dry without a ticket and that gorgeous plane went to a Nebraska pilot who wasn't a member of this group! Let's fix that. We're now offering an exceptionally clean and upgraded...

Hey, we're working on it! Our previous 5 raffles had 2 and possibly 3 winners coming from this forum. For reasons cited in my April 4 (Monday) post we're still favoring quality vs. quantity. :)

Regarding Kiddo's Driver comment about ticketing sequence: In previous raffles we printed tickets 0001 - 3000, manually entered data on each entrant, addressed envelopes and mailed tickets. This year we've used an online ticketing service which captured each entrant's data and assigned a...

All 3,000 tickets sold in less than 24 hours! The fastest sell out in our history! We are so grateful to all who participated. Only one of you will win a plane—but hundreds will benefit from your support of our Medical Relief & Air Transport Program. They are the real winners! THANK YOU! We...

Right now the raffle drawing is scheduled to take place at our annual volunteer luncheon on May 13.......assuming of course, that we're sold out by that date. All ticket holders are invited to attend.

Here's the reply from Wings of Hope's hangar director: If the aircraft is hangared and waxed it will last several years without any attention. It does not have an autopilot. The Garmin 430 is not WAAS but can be upgraded. Steve

How difficult is it to maintain that bare aluminum? Does it have an AP? Is the 430 that is being installed a WAAS box? Good questions! Feel free to call or email Wings of Hope and talk to Steve Long, our hangar director. 636.537.1302 or steve.long@wingsofhope.ngo
