WHO ARE WE?
I'm a retired United Airlines Captain and the APHS Chairman. My son Chris, (AA 777 F/O) is an APHS officer. My son Jeff, is a pilot and the Website Manager and my oldest son Rich, for the past 10 years has traveled the country in his spare time, as our aviation archaeologist. We're not in the business of selling aircraft parts. We do make available to collectors and home sim builders, parts and artifacts to be used in those applications. Our goal is "education through the preservation of artifacts that otherwise might be lost". We have no employees or administrative overhead, and not one soul is on our payroll. We're also listed with the IRS as a 501-C3 Foundation.
Capt. Nick Louis, UAL/Ret.
Chairman, APHS LTD.
For the sixteen years, those of us at APHS have worked hard to promote aviation, and to generate an interest among our young future pilots. We also have donated generously, and regularly to children's hospitals, homeless shelters that specialize in families with children and other similar entities . This year we will exceed $170,000 donated to Children's Memorial Hospital and St. Jude Hospital alone. Ironically, my own family has seen the problem from the inside. In November of 2006 our 5 year-old grandson Brian was hospitalized with what has turned out to be a disease very hard to diagnose and tough to cure. Macrophage Activation Syndrome strikes only 1 in 2 million children, usually girls. My son Chris, (AA 777 F/O), who is an APHS officer, is Brian's father. I won't dwell on the agony the little guy endured during his treatment and apparent cure, but I will say that having seen the experience first hand, our hearts go out to families in similar situations. It is a tiring, heartbreaking, tortuous struggle, and too often the end result is even worse than the journey. We have adopted a new and stronger commitment to our APHS goals. Your support through purchases or donations is required, and I am not ashamed to ask for your continued loyalty.
The gloves are off. Sick kids need our help...they'll get it.
My sincere thanks.
