Mack was a founding member of Angel Flight Soars, one of our most capable and experienced pilots, an excellent instructor and a friend to all that knew him. He leaves a big gap in our formation and a big hole in our hearts.

Mack Secord was a hero both to the USA and hundreds of families who he served through Angel Flight Soars. His wit and humor and warm smile lit up every room he entered. Mack made a difference in this world. He will be forever missed.
