LMV serves Mexico, Central and South America, and migrant labor populations of the southwestern United States.

In their own words

"I'd do another LMV trip at the drop of a hat! Having never flown in a private plane before, I was a bit nervous. But the professionalism of our pilot made the entire trip a complete joy," Dr. Johanna Koch, MD
