Our Mission

The Doug Doty Vertical Flight Foundation’s mission is to assist in advancing helicopter pilots to the next level in their training as well as making positive contributions to the aviation industry.

The Doug Doty Vertical Flight Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. It was started in August of 2010 by Jesika Doty after the death of her husband Doug, a flight instructor, in a helicopter training accident. The foundation is dedicated to helping helicopter pilots pursue their dream of flying, keeping Doug's dream alive through them.

"When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return."

Leonardo da Vinci

"The air up there in the clouds is very pure and fine, bracing and delicious. And why shouldn't it be? —it is the same the angels breathe".

Mark Twain, Roughing It, Chapter XXII, 1886.
