Challenge Air

There is a group called Challenge Air that hosts "fly days" all around the country for kids with special needs and their families. Ryan is always hesitant to try new things, but the rest of us love flying - especially in small planes, where you really get to feel the experience! The pilots are all volunteers, and come from all over to participate. Each child is encouraged to participate to the best of their ability. The first time we participated in McKinney, Ryan actually got to take the controls - although, not sure how much he was aware of the reality of this. Andy has been an eager participant too - when Ryan hesitated, Andy gladly took the front seat spot in the cockpit for our second fly day in Lancaster! The volunteers who put this event together are simply amazing. What fun it must be to own your own personal airplane!
