Flying Away!


Dylan had a dream day at an event called Challenge Air. Pilots donate their time and planes to fly children with special needs. Dylan and Eric got to go in a plane with a pilot for about 45 minutes. As they leave the hangar, the kids all walk the red carpet with cheerleaders cheering them on. Every single time a child walked the red carpet and got the huge ovation, it was an emotional feeling. How amazing the cheering section we all need in life! Dylan got to steer the plane for about 10 minutes! It was the ride of a lifetime to him. As you can see in the photos, he was in heaven!

What a treat for your family to participate in this! How did you find out about it? Bless the pilots and all involved for the gifts they gave Dylan and others that day!

That's so awesome! Trent has four more flights left before he takes his FAA test and officially becomes a pilot. He saw the pics of Dylan too, and he wants to participate. I'm off to check out the website...

What a great opportunity! I love that you were able to have your little participate in something as FUN as this! I am sure with the photos - this will be a memory he will cheerish! So cool!
