“The smile on these kids when we land is what it’s all about. It’s contagious and sticks around for both of us for a long time”

Broward County, FL– A thousand feet above Miramar Matthew H. (13) could see the field at Hard Rock stadium below. He was flying in a Piper airplane with a volunteer EAA pilot. Matthew loved aviation and had been counting down the days since his mother signed him up for the event at North Perry just a few weeks earlier. “The smile on these kids when we land is what it’s all about. It’s contagious and sticks around for both of us for a long time” says Rob Arkin, the pilot of this discovery flight.
