Joey was originally diagnosed with Central Nervous System Neuroblastoma when he was 6 years old. After going through grueling treatment they thought his cancer was gone, until he recently relapsed. Joey is a typical boy! He loves swimming, being outside, and especially looking up into the sky to watch the planes.

Thanks to ExecuJet Charter Service at Tampa Bay International Airport, Joey’s dream to become a pilot came true! Joey enjoyed a full-day Pilot experience! He started the day by receiving his official pilots uniform and badge. He then assisted with all pre-flight checks, fueling the plane, and taking a look at the weather report. Before take-off, Joey even signed an official 1-day contract with ExecuJet, allowing him to actually FLY THE PLANE! Joey and his family took flight to Ocala where they stopped for lunch, before they returned back to Tampa to complete post-flight inspections. Most importantly – Joey was able to sit in the co-pilots seat and actually control the plane up in the sky for a short amount of time.

What a Dream-come-true for this future pilot!
