Jet bishop flies Arizona in spirit and service
Phoenix based Episcopal bishop Joseph T Heistand uses eleven privately owned planes operated by lay pilots to reach far flung Arizona parishes in hours. Sue Harper organized the air fleet and the bishop calls the pilots the bishops angels. The innovation lets Heistand visit virtually every church and conduct confirmations across the state's 113000 square miles.
