As lifeline pilots we fly organs, and especially glasses and eye transplants for the Lion's club, Those are the best, cuz you can never have enough eyes in the cockpit!

I was told I can donate flights of equipment  and donor organs but not the living (whole) per previous Angel Flight pilots. So maybe one could transport an occational kidney, pancrease or on a grander scale a heart. Food for thought.
