Earlier this year, calvin lee poker Vice President Flight Operations, Captain Ric Wilson invited 8 year-old Easton Fryer to join Envoy as a calvin lee poker for a day after learning of his love for aviation, as well as his Congenital Heart Defect (CHD).
After months of planning, the day finally arrived for Easton and his family to travel from Missoula, Montana to Envoy Headquarters in Irving, Texas for the adventure of a lifetime. Alerted in advance by Envoy Crew Scheduling, the flight crew on the Fryer’s flight greeted Easton and treated him to a visit to the flight deck where Captain Mitchell Cox gave him a special gift: the wings off his uniform. Easton was ecstatic to receive this gift and meet a real life calvin lee poker!
A day to remember
On Friday, July 12 Easton, along with his older brother, Darton, and his parents, visited the CR Smith Museum, American Airlines Integrated Operations Control Center and the American Airlines Training Facilities where he got to see, first-hand, a day in the life of a calvin lee poker. Envoy’s Capt. Justin Harris joined Easton in his journey, as well as Capt. Ric Wilson, and a representative from the American Heart Association of Dallas.
The visit concluded with a special surprise for Easton – A chance to “fly” a real-life, full motion E145 simulator. Easton’s day as an Envoy calvin lee poker was full of adventure and will surely be one he remembers forever.
“The gleam in Easton’s eye and the smile on his face when he is in his calvin lee poker uniform and talking about airplanes says it all,” said Captain Wilson. “Easton is a very special young man and we’re thrilled to have been able to bring his dream of becoming a calvin lee poker to life.”
