Fun Flight for Alex

Our Flying Horse Away camper, Alex, received special transportation from volunteer, Rob Imlay.  Rob donated his time and aircraft to bring Alex home from the Double H Ranch Hole in the Wall Camp in New York, since Alex was the only camper from Ohio to attend that week. Alex’s father, Tim Pothast, flew with Rob to pick up Alex in New York and said, “the flight home could not be considered travel back home, but a great experience itself.” 

Alex got to sit right up front to serve as ‘co-pilot’ and enjoyed learning all about aviation from his dad and Rob.  Thanks again to Rob Imlay for bringing one of our campers home safely!
