All Done!!!

The 2009 National FunFlight day is behind us. On Sunday 8 November, almost 1200 children and their families have been on a joyflight from one of the 15 locations around Australia.

To say it was a success, would be an understatement........ Here is an extract from an email we have received from one of the participants:

Our family would like to send enormous thanks to everyone involved last Sunday in the Funflight activities at the Peninsula Aero Club. We had the most fantastic day and our Heartkid William had a huge smile on his face the whole day. As a large family with four sons we needed two planes. Our pilots Tom and Bruce were so lovely and the boys thought they were fantastic!! The food, activities and air show were all fantastic and the gentleman who brought icypoles over to the petting farm was a lifesaver in the hot weather!!! William has had two major heart operations and many other procedures for a complex heart condition he was born with. He will also have further open heart surgeries as he grows - which he is just starting to become aware of and although he does not want to go back into hospital, these days are a fantastic way for him to forget about it and just enjoy a great day out.

From the FunFlight committee, THANK YOU to all the aero clubs, volunteers, pilots, sponsors, and all others, that have helped to put smiles on the faces of kids (and their families) that so often have little to smile about.
