Community members arrived soon after and a guest speaker, Angel Flight pilot Denis Grosser spoke about the organisation.
Mr Grosser said the Angel Flight charity was launched in 2003 and since then thousands of free missions had been taken by people who needed non-emergency flights but were financially or medically unable to travel.
He said more than 3000 pilots and more than 3000 Earth Angels donated their time and aircraft availability to those in need.
