MONEE, Ill. -- A 19-year-old pilot on Thursday gave eight young kids a gift they will never forget.Pilot Zaire Horton took the youngsters for a special holiday flight—teaching them all about aviation and flying.Two years ago, CBS News Chicago told Horton's story. The then-17-year-old was preparing to fly alone across the country—and learn along the way about African Americans who flew during World War II.
But she assisted by reaching out to moms on a Facebook page, asking if their kids were interested in aviation.'There are so many great parents that are on there looking for resources, and great things for their students to do,' said Sandifer-Horton 'I said this will be a great time for me to go on there and say, 'Hey I'm looking for students who want to ride with Zaire.''Beverly Carrington's son was one of those who got to fly in the small plane with Horton.
