In case you missed it, when COVID shut down our Fly Days, it pushed us to think outside the box—and straight into the sky in a whole new way.

What happens when a nonprofit built around in-person flight experiences for children with special needs suddenly can’t gather? We bring our co-pilots the next best thing.

With the help of a GoPro, some tech-savvy problem solvers, and incredibly generous pilots, we created a Virtual 360° Fly Day—an at-home experience that brings the magic of flight directly to our co-pilots.

We put our heads together and produced a YouTube video that allows each registered co-pilot to experience flight through a virtual reality headset. Join Pilot Glenn as he flies over Palo Duro Canyon. When a child looks up, the view looks up. When they glance out the window, the scenery shifts right along with them—making it feel like they’re truly sitting beside the pilot.

To participate, simply watch through the YouTube app and click the goggle icon in the lower right corner once the video begins. The screen will split, activating the full virtual flight experience. We hope you enjoy your flight.

Because flight has no boundaries. #givekidswings
