Flying Through Turbulence: A Powerful Finish to Our Dream Flight Season
This past weekend, Above the Clouds completed its final Dream Flight Day of the 2025 season and, despite a few weather related speed bumps, the day was nothing short of extraordinary.
We launched into the morning with low clouds, shifting forecasts, and a bit of uncertainty. But in true Above the Clouds fashion, our team rose to the challenge. Our Dream Flyers, many of whom face steep climbs in life due to illness, disabilities, or personal hardships, reminded us what resilience really looks like. They showed up ready to fly, ready to smile, and ready to embrace an experience that takes them far beyond the weight they carry.
And just like them, our pilots and volunteers were equally resilient. They navigated delays, adjusted flight plans, and worked together seamlessly to make this final event of the season truly shine. Through teamwork, patience, and a shared commitment to our mission, we left the turbulence behind and reached smooth skies together.
Below is a gallery capturing the joy, bravery, and magic of the day.
As we close out the season, we are also launching our end of year fundraising campaign. To continue offering these transformative Dream Flights, we depend on the generosity of people who believe in lifting children above the clouds and into a world of possibility.
A donation of any size gives us the tailwind we need to fly even further and higher next year.
If you’re able, please consider making a gift today to support our work in 2026 and beyond.
Thank you to every pilot, volunteer, partner, and supporter who makes these moments possible. Together, we are truly helping children rise.
