Memorable Flights with Cloud 9 Aerosports, Inc.

The Improbable FlightHe suffered from MS and Diabeties. He was an amputee. He could not sit in his wheel chair without being tied in. He could not speak yet every time he heard us flying overhead, his son Pat knew to wheel him out to watch. Eventually Pat arranged a flight for his dad. To get him in the aircraft was challenging to say the least. However, when they finally rolled back into the parking area of our hangar, his smile spoke volumnes to everyone who
had come out to see him fly. His son told us later that anyone who came to their house after that flight was handed the video of his flight. Harrison may not have been able to speak but they knew they had to watch it. It is such a privilege to be able to make dreams come true for folks like Harrison. |
Contagious EnthusiasmIt is not unusual to have a 100% customer satisfaction in the trike flying business. Everyone who flies with us brings a certain amount of enthusiasm with them. However, there are those who stand out in a crowd. Eighty-five year old Leona Fritz would be one such person. After providing air delivery of 2 bags of marshmallows for a family reunion we stopped by to meet the rest of the family. Leona was the first to greet us with; "I only want to know one thing, how do I get a flight in that thing?" She has flown several times with us. At the age of ninety she recently reminded me that she still has a gift certificate to fly again. Leona has brought at least twelve other people out to fly with us. We should all be so young at that age.
