Volunteer pilots help wounded troops travel for care
Veterans Airlift Command is a nonprofit group of volunteer pilots who fly wounded U.S. service members to and from hospitals.
The group was founded by Walt Fricke, a former Army helicopter pilot who was shot down and wounded in Vietnam in 1968.
It now has 30 pilots and 25 airplanes, with a goal of having 1,000 planes across the country by the end of 2007.
