People & Places

For people in need of emergency medical care, sometimes

an angel’s wings take ight in the form of a Piper Chero-

kee 6. Since November 2004, Kenneth Guill and the Missions

Made Possible (MMP) non-prot have own medical patients

to locales within a 500-mile radius of its home hangar at Or -

lando, Florida’s Orlando Executive Airport (ORL).

The organization began with just one Cessna 182 that Guill

held part ownership in before MMP received a donated Piper in

December 2008. “It was heaven-sent,” Guill says.

Guill can count on a large volunteer base when it comes to y-

ing and supporting between 18 and 20 ights per year. Each ight

has two pilots on board, and he estimates ve other volunteer pi-

lots are on call at any time.

The group also has access to several different planes—a

Cessna 172, Lake Amphibious seaplane or twin-engine. Fur -

thermore, the Cherokee 6’s FDA-approved medical stretcher,

which locks into the plane, is an invaluable resource.
