People, Not Just Planes

We build and deploy tactical aircraft to deliver life-saving aid and humanitarian relief to isolated areas cut off by geography or disaster.

We bridge the critical gap between supply hubs and disaster-stricken areas. Extra Wings is committed to transforming aerial capability into immediate emergency relief.

01. Fueling the Mission

What Happens: We launch our fundraising campaign, sharing stories of communities in need and inviting donors to power our first aircraft build.

Why It Matters: Every dollar brings us closer to liftoff.

02. Vision to Order

What Happens: Once we hit 25% of our $1.35 M goal, we place the order for our first Comp Air CA6.2 turbine airframe.

Why It Matters: Securing the aircraft frame is the pivotal step from concept to reality.

03. Custom Build & Outfitting

What Happens: U.S. engineers install reinforced cargo floors, medevac stretchers, avionics, and optional float gear.

Why It Matters: Tailoring the aircraft for real-world relief missions ensures maximum effectiveness.

04. Rigorous Testing

What Happens: Ground-run inspections, flight-control checks, and safety certifications guarantee mission-ready performance.

Why It Matters: We deliver not just an aircraft, but a reliable lifeline.

05. Donation & Deployment

What Happens: We formally hand over the finished aircraft to a vetted 501(c)(3) partner, chosen by our Board and open to donor suggestions.

Why It Matters: Our mission culminates in empowering another charity to conduct life-saving aid flights.

06. Growing the Fleet & Impact

What Happens: As Extra Wings expands, we may retain our own aircraft to run direct relief missions—and continue donating additional planes.

Why It Matters: Scaling our operations multiplies the lives we can touch.
