"I like flying and I feel like I'm doing some good m this world," Silver said. Dr. Douglas Felt, an ophthal- mologist in Washington Terrace, heard about the organization from Silver and decided to join it a year ago He, too, likes feeling like he's helping someone. Silver and Felt both received their pi- lot's licenses while young Silver got his when he was 16 and Felt got his shortly after high school. Both will cancel trips if the weather is too severe Felt flies a e plane. Felt and Silver also fly when they have a day single-engin- off. I can't cancel appointments because of a mission," Felt said. When Silver arrived at the Idaho Falls airport, a boy w ith a walker and his mom were waiting for him. The pilot that flew them to Idaho from Kalispell, Mont , was also new. Paul Wells joined AirLifeLine less than a month ago. This was his second tnp with Kim Nestegard and her son, Tyler, who were making their third flight to Salt Lake City. Tyler Nestegard, 12, was diagnosed with a brain tumor on March 4. They drove to Salt Lake City on March 5 and then on March 6 he was in Primary Children's Medical Center undergoing surgery to remove the tumor. Doctors told the Nestegards that Tyler would need to have five chemotherapy treatments in the next four months. They borrowed her fathers car for the first tnp. Kim Nestegard said it was her mother-in-law who found AirLifeLine for them. It was a miracle," Kim Nestegard said. e She is a mom, home schooling her three children. Her husband, Chns Nestegard, is a meat cutter at Super-Food- s in Kalispell. They own a 1978 Monte Carlo that "barely makes it around town, she said stay-hom- The Nestegard trip were facing a one-wa- y to Salt Lake City every four weeks. Tyler has to stay in the hospital at E SHEDS least four days for the treatments. Kim Nestegard said she stayed awake the whole night before her first flight. She has never flown in a small plane. The flight from Kalispell to Idaho Falls takes two hours Then the flight from Idaho Falls to Salt Lake City takes 45 minutes. I was amazed at how said. Not only did Kim Nestegard worry about turbulence, she also worried how her son would manage with a walker. On his first flight his balance was off because of the surgery that removed his tumor. He also was not feeling well. Kim Nestegard found out that the pilots did not want any thanks or recognition for their time. It is so heartwarming to know there are people who want to help and dont want any recognition. These guys do it because they love to fly," she said. Another mom knows how Kim Nestegard feels. She has been flying with her son for the past three years at least once a month from Jackson, Wyo , to Salt Lake City, then home again. Susan Skerlak said her son, Eric, was bom with a chronic disease that requires surgery to remove tumors from his respiratory system at least once a month. When he was 13, the Skerlaks heard about AirLifeLine and applied. Since then they have flown with 14 pilots, some they know better than others.

Silver said flying these missions gives him a reason to fly. I wouldn't do enough flying otherwise to keep my skills up," he said. AirLifeLine does not limit its services to a specific age group or the diagnosis or the condition of a patient, Howton said. Silver said the youngest patient he has flown was also the mission that was the longest one he has flown, as well as the worst weather he has flown in. He flew a baby and its mother from Ogden to Oregon several years ago. The baby was born premature while the parents were on vacation m Ogden. When the time came for the baby to go home, the parents did not want to make the long drive to Oregon because the baby still required some oxygen So Silver flew the parents and the baby to Oregon. It turned out Silver flew the family in a snowstorm through headwinds. Silver said he tries to limit the one pilot makes in a month because it can "bog them down financially and number of flights time-wise- ."
