Don’t Compound Accidents Christian Schultz, a current HALO-Flight Guardian Member, knows first hand the true value of this membership. Schultz was in an accident that required him to be airlifted by HALO-Flight’s reciprocal partner, San Antonio AirLIFE. Schultz paid no out-of-pocket expenses for his transport. Schultz’s significant other, Anne Holt, explains, “The helicopter saved his life!” Holt immediately spread the word to her family who now has memberships as well. www.haloflight.org
