Re: touches my heart - indias poor children experience airplane
very very touching! If more airlines could donate their about-to-be decomissioned aircraft, then they could be transformed into learning centers like this.

Re: touches my heart - indias poor children experience airplane
That is soo cool! Can you imagine how exciting something like this would be to these kids? Makes me want to go out and buy one, too, for the kids in the inner city here. I just don't happen to have a couple hundred thou to spend right now....

It Was Not Donated. Mr & Mrs Gupta Bought The Decommissioned Plane From The Airline, But Yes Your Point Is A Good One.
Don't Know How Much Learning They Can Do On A Non Functioning Aircraft Without A Simulator Though.

Re: touches my heart - indias poor children experience airplane
God bless Mr. & Mrs. Gupta for making these poor children's dreams come true. The world needs more people like Gupta's. Much better to inspire children to fly, then strap bombs around their waist.

Tupi Is The ENTIRE World Other Than The US That Bleak & Abysmal To You?
I Don't Think Very May Children (Or Adults For That Matter) In India Learn To Strap Bombs Around Their Waist. Try Looking At The Groups Actually Responsible, Not The Country Or Majority Of People That Don't Do That Sort Of Thing.
Not Everyone In Those Counties Are Terrorists, But Your Media/Government Will Have You Believing That.

Re: touches my heart - indias poor children experience airplane
I want to know what type of plane it is? I can not tell from those video angles.
Rick, you must learn not to give into Mr. Tupi's tempting of you. I think you are more of the child in this case, arguing with him and all.

Mr. very Heavy, my point was a positive one regarding these Indian children. So far you have posted two negative responses regarding this positive post. Please have a heart heavy they are trying to provide some hope to these children. Obviously you are not a father.

What's So Positive About
"Much better to inspire children to fly, then strap bombs around their waist."
You Are Saying Kids In India Are Learning To Be Terrorists.
Coupled With The Fact You Said Emgland Is A Has Been Nation, Canada & France Are Socialist Countries etc, etc.

Re: touches my heart - indias poor children experience airplane
I watched the video yesterday. It was amazing. Too many of us around the world take air travel for granted. What seems an everyday deal to some is a
once in a life time experience for others, even if they don't get off the ground. I applaud this effort. As far as I could tell in the video, the children were having the time of their life. That is what really counts. Mission accomplished as far as I can tell.

Re: touches my heart - indias poor children experience airplane
I don't understand how a wonderful gesture for the underprivileged children in Delhi can create an argument on this thread. You guys need to grow up. Tupi, I know where you were going with that comment...I didn't think for a second that you were referring to Indian children, but children in the troubled areas of the world. I agree...those children need to see hope, and reach for the dream of a better life.
