What if aviation could become a lifeline for someone escaping exploitation? In this powerful and deeply personal presentation, airline captain and Freedom Aviation Network co-founder Stephanie Lamar shares how volunteer pilots across the country are using aviation to help survivors of human trafficking reach safety, healing, and hope. Through stories from real missions, Stephanie explores how one small idea grew into a national network of pilots serving survivors and advocacy organizations through compassionate transportation. She also reflects on her journey as a woman in aviation, the emotional impact of this work, and the unique ability aviation has to restore dignity and human connection during moments of crisis. This presentation is an invitation to see aviation differently, not just as transportation, but as a tool for purpose, compassion, and meaningful change.
