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.

He is also extremely hard of hearing and communicates by using sign language, which he has not stopped signing "Airplane" since he got off the plane, the other was horribly afraid of heights, but they both had a wonderful experience thanks to their pilot Ian. I did not catch Ian's last name but I'm sure you keep records of these events, if there is any way for me to obtain maybe an e-mail address or any other way, I would love to contact him in person to thank him one more time for what he did for our boys; he is a wonderful man and all of you are wonderful people for everything you do. We look forward to flying with you as many times as allowed. "For everything I get to do like the other boys, I get to be a real boy" Quote signed by Colby Standridge,

Thank you again for inviting us to your event at Kansas City this past Saturday.  Please pass along our thanks to Cheryl. You have an amazing organization and it was such a great and emotional time. There were quite a few of my football players that attended your event and they were all smiles. So thank you for making so very special people extremely happy. If you ever need anything please dont be afraid to ask me. If you need cheerleaders for next years event please let me know because I am pretty sure I can get you plenty of cheerleaders. I would definitely love to attend your events every year that you have it in Kansas City. Please keep me posted on any upcoming events. God Bless You all at Challenge Air.
