Due to high winds and low ceilings, tomorrow's McKinney Fly Day Event, scheduled for Saturday, April 14th at the McKinney Municipal Airport has been postponed to Saturday, May 19th, same location. All flight times will carry over to May 19th.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

I just had to write you and thank you so very much for the gift of flight you, and your wonderful program, gave to my Grandsons last Saturday afternoon. It was an absolutely beautiful day, and this had to be one of the most thoughtful gifts I can think of for them to have received; you see one of them has Downs Syndrome, complicated by heart conditions that make it impossible for him to fly on a commercial flight in a pressurized cabin.

I spent the day last Saturday flying – giving kids with disabilities a chance to experience the fun of flying in a small plane. I have been involved with Challenge Air for several years. Challenge Air was founded by a Vietnam fighter pilot, Rick Amber, who lost the use of his legs after an aborted landing attempt on an aircraft carrier. He loved flying so much that he figured out how to continue to fly after his accident, and share the experience with children who spend much of their lives being told what they can’t do.
