| What is Wings of Mercy? Wings of Mercy is a non-profit volunteer pilot organization established by Peter VandenBosch in Holland, Michigan in 1991. It is dedicated to providing access to FREE, private airplane transportation for medical patients with low/limited disposable income. Wings of Mercy is supported through donations from individuals, private businesses, churches, and fund raising events. Donations are tax deductible.

Wings of Mercy require two pilots to fly every mission. We have over 70 airplane owners in West Michigan who volunteer their time and the use of their airplanes to do missions. In addition we have over 200 other pilots who volunteer their time to fly as the Second-in-Command for each mission.
