A Special Day for Special Kids
2026
Photos are now available!
Thank you to everyone who participated in this year’s event! This year, 128 families enjoyed the day - supported by 42 volunteers and 16 volunteer aircraft who flew 332 people, weighing a combined total of 48,438 lbs! We are evaluating the options for recreating the day next year. Updates will be posted on this website. Please make sure that you visit the Photo section of the website for photos of the event.
Our program gives children, especially those fighting serious illness, an opportunity for a free airplane ride. In addition, we will have gratis entertainment and refreshments available. Our goal is simple — to share the thrill of flying with children and their families and to give them relief from their daily struggles.
