A young man who dreams of one day becoming a pilot celebrated his 19th birthday on Wednesday with a special tour of Rise Air operations in Saskatoon.
Alex Adams, who lived for most of his life in the small, remote northern community of Uranium City, has been fascinated with flying since he was a child. He is now in his Grade 12 year at Saskatoon’s Mount Royal Collegiate, but before he relocated, he estimates he flew with Rise Air more than 1,000 times, mostly to attend medical appointments in southern Saskatchewan.
