The crew

A crew that gives up a week of sleep for kids they'll never meet.

Since 2013, Team USA has flown Worldflight under Delta flight number 209. We rotate crews around the clock, with live air traffic control from the VATSIM network, through real-time weather and quick turnarounds.

We do it to give people a reason to give, and it's working: more than $35,000 for All Children's so far.

A century of caring deserves a great birthday gift.

All Children's turns 100 in 2026. Help us mark it with a gift for the kids it serves.
