An act of kindness that hits the heart

[Naki Boy]

I remember when I was a child around the age of 8 I was flying to a village near the border of PNG and Papua. I was the only passenger in this MAF Cessna 206. I couldn’t believe my luck not only did I get to sit in the front seat along with the pilot (I had to sit on my mums lap most times in the back), but I was able to hold the controls. What an experience to have as a young child I felt like all my birthdays had come at once. It was that moment that I believe birthed a dream to want to become a pilot. Sadly a few months later the pilot was tragically killed in an accident somewhere in the Highlands. I think we can all forget the little things that can impact people’s lives in an incredible way.

Thanks for sharing
