My son in law was killed on 2/12 /24 from a car accident.He was an organ donor . .. at least 8 people received the gift of life.Some of them went by air jet ambulance. I can't even begin to know what families were thinking when they heard the plane coming

A nice video to place "it's brighter here" ending scene.

Great video I wish it was a lot longer

As someone who flies the Lear 45...It's pronounced "bom-bard-yay" not "bom-ba-deer"...

[@alext3811]

Why does the title sound like an ad? Also, wonder how much that flight cost the patient? IIRC as much as a new car (and I'm talking Ford Explorer, etc that are popular).
