It was a dream-come-true moment for some people of determinat­ion who wished to have an opportunit­y to fly over Abu Dhabi city in a helicopter. The Abu Dhabi Police, who received the request from the Zayed Higher Organisati­on for Humanitari­an Care and Special Needs, fulfilled their dreams by taking them on a flight journey on Monday.

abu dhabi — Seven people of determinat­ion (PoD) saw their dreams turn into reality, with the help of the Abu Dhabi Police on Monday.

The Abu Dhabi Police received the wishes of seven people from the Zayed Higher Organisati­on (ZHO) for Humanitari­an Care and Special Needs, who wished to fly over the Capital in a chopper.

Officials from the Abu Dhabi Police, took all seven on the journey of their life time. The journey took off from Abu Dhabi’s Al Bateen Executive Airport and flew over Yas Island, Ferrari World, and then flew over the newly opened Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi. The helicopter then passed over the sandy shores of Saadiyat Island and the magnificen­t dome of the Louvre Abu Dhabi.

The journey then headed towards Abu Dhabi Corniche to watch the Emirates flag fly high, and the towering residentia­l buildings, before flying over Emirates Palace, and finally over the magnificen­t Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque.

Brigadier-Pilot Ibrahim Hassan Al Baloushi, director of Air Wing Administra­tion at the Abu Dhabi Police, said the humanitari­an gesture not only fulfilled the young men and women’s dreams, but it also promotes the importance of giving, some of the values that were of great importance to the Founding Father of the Nation.

“We thank Abu Dhabi Police for their efforts in supporting humanitari­an initiative­s and their pioneering role in fulfilling the wishes of a section that is dear to our hearts,” said Fatima Al Tunaiji, head of Community Service.

Last November, the police allowed a 14-year-old Emirati boy, who is suffering from a rare condition, to become ‘Captain Pilot’.
