Rol Murrow credits business aviation with becoming an increasingly important and frequent participant in public-benefit flying. With many of those missions requiring longer-distance or overwater flights, business aircraft operators have been stepping up to help after hurricanes, fires and other natural disasters; during the COVID-19 pandemic; and for air medical transportation. Murrow should know. He recently stepped down after 30 years as the co-founder, chairman and guiding force behind the Air Care Alliance (ACA), the respected umbrella organization that facilitates cooperation among more than 60 groups nationwide that provide flights for health, compassion and community service. Also, ACA successfully fought to ensure that pilots can take tax deductions for volunteer flying and was instrumental in securing the ICAO-sanctioned international call sign "COMPASSION, ID CMF."
