“Your dreams are our wings”: on New Year’s Eve, Ural Airlines fulfilled the cherished wish of 11-year-old Rostislav

The balloon with the wish of young Rostislav was removed from the Wish Tree by Vladimir Yakushev, Plenipotentiary Representative of the President in the Urals Federal District.

Rostislav dreamed of being in the cockpit, and his wish came true right on his birthday! Together with his mother, two brothers and sister, he visited our aviation technical center, where, accompanied by senior instructor Yuri Popov, he saw aircraft, stroked their white sides, walked around the cabin, examined the buttons and toggle switches in the cockpit with interest, sat in the commander's chair. And then, in the company of the pilot-instructor of Ural Airlines Vyacheslav Tarakanov, he made a trained flight and successfully landed at the Salzburg airport on an aircraft simulator.

“The child is happy. No amount of money can buy this. Thank you all very much! And we are happy, of course, that he is happy. Yes, Rostik, great! I think now he will definitely become a pilot, ”said Elena Bedrina, Rostislav’s mother.

“Fulfilling dreams, especially children's ones, is a great happiness. After all, these are the most sincere and kind wishes. When they come true, the child strengthens his faith in people and opens up opportunities for himself. Bright and kind memories of the fulfilled desire remain with him for the rest of his life, inspiring him to achieve and giving confidence in his own abilities,” Vladimir Yakushev emphasized.
