- Video shows Omahawks Air Club putting on a show, the Make-A-Wish family enjoying their wish, and planes and helicopters controlled by remotes
- The Omahawks Air Show is in its 45th year at Standing Bear Lake, where they partner with Make-A-Wish to raise money, and make wishes come true.
BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
It's an event spanning generations, bringing all walks of life together for one common goal. One pilot told me that his "father and I joined, and now I've got my son and grand kids in it."
the Omahawks are partnered with make-a-wish Nebraska, raising money for children with critical illnesses.Omahawks president Grant Schulte told me that the goal is to raise seventy-five hundred dollars this year. "We'll have one family to sort of highlight the importance of Make-A-Wish and why it matters to serve this cause, but it really helps a number of families in the Nebraska Area."
this year, the Omahawks honor Lewis, who has born with hypo-plastic heart syndrome, with his wish to see the planes in action.His mom explained "We just spend a lot of time in the hospital and apart, and so it was nice to something altogether as a family that we have memories to cherish forever."
Needless to say, there is no grounding this labor day tradition anytime soon.
