Cradling her baby boy close, Jessie Evans couldn’t hide her smile and relief as the plane touched down. The two-hour journey to Brisbane was one Jessie feared she, her fiance Billy Blacker and their chronically ill four-month-old son Rocka would never make when they were stuck in Sydney thanks to border closures. But then Angel Flight stepped in.
The charity organised for volunteer pilot Darryl Campbell to transport the stranded family back to their home state in September. “It was a huge relief for us to finally go home – without them we’d still be stuck. I truly can’t thank them enough,” says Jessie, 25. “It takes a lot to stress me out, but it’s all been really tough!”
Having met the family on the tarmac of Bankstown Airport, 56-year-old Darryl, who has made an incredible 280 flights with Angel Flight in eight years, was happy to help make the family’s life a little easier.
