Interlace Incorporated was established in 1996 as a not-for-profit organization and has used exempt-purpose activities to fulfill its mission. The organization is considered a Religious corporation adhering to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Tax Code Section 501(c)(3) (Internal Revenue Service, 2003) and has acquired permanent status as a nonprofit by the IRS. The corporation was established to provide focused, specialized training and support for individuals to acquire the necessary background and experience to be better prepared for service as Aviation Missionaries.
In October of 1996 Interlace Incorporated established a formal relationship with Mercy Air Ambulance, a division of Catholic Health Care West, located in Redding, California, to provide contract aviation maintenance technician service for their air ambulance fleet that was comprised of 3 complex twin-engine aircraft and one helicopter. Through the aforementioned endeavor, Interlace was afforded an environment to fulfill our mission as a not-for-profit corporation engaging in exempt- purpose activities.
The company has maintained contract services with Mercy Air Ambulance and other aviation companies in the Redding area with an outflow of operational expenses and trainee support matching the income. Currently the employee base has grown from one full-time paid employee to five providing both maintenance and pilot services.
We have continually striven to provide the highest level of quality customer service; the longevity of our association with Mercy Air Ambulance is a testament to our commitment.
With a proven history of providing specialized aviation services, Interlace Incorporated is proposing Tribal Air to provide services for the Native American tribes in Northern California.
