Flying High!

Posted in Uncategorized at 4:06 pm by w.eric.mckenzie

This is shaping up to be quite a week for Sasha, there will be lots to post so check back daily! Today Byron Boone fulfilled one of Sasha’s greatest dreams … to fly a plane! Byron, who has graciously taken many Belarussian children for flights over the Brockville area during summer visits, took Sasha for a flight today and even handed over the flying. Sasha took the controls and got to feel the excitement of flying a plane! It was a great moment and I’m am sure he is still smiling yet (does he ever stop smiling?)! Here are a few pictures, note that Sasha is wearing his cap given to him by a pilot in Montreal.

Here we are in flight:

Here is Sasha flying high above the river:

Safely back on the ground, Leana is happy and relieved:
