We’ve all had dreams of flying. Whether it be over oceans or above cities, we soon wake up and realise it was just a dream. Thanks to a generous donation from Adventure Flight Training, a group of nine young people were literally ‘Living the dream’ as the slogan says on the flight school’s website.
For a few of the participants, this was their first time being in a plane. The nerves and hesitation to fly were soon overcome with joy and an adrenaline rush as the pilots took one up at a time for a fly. One participant was in awe and couldn’t hide his excitement, before, during and after the flying! All we heard the whole day was “THIS IS AMAZING” and “I CAN’T BELIEVE I’M DOING THIS”! (X100).
The Open House youth team were so pleased to reunite with past participants and share in this moment. The team would like to give a huge thanks and shout out to Josh Kamal (a.k.a. Camel) and his team of pilots at Adventure Flight Training for their time and generosity to the group.
