Airline grants four-year-old double amputee's wish for 'wings'
A Chinese boy's dream of flying was fulfilled by an airline.
Xiao Feng wished for "a pair of wings" to help him fly after an accident two years ago led to the amputation of both of his legs, Xinhua news reported. China Eastern Airlines fulfilled the four-year-old's wish, when it made the boy a "pilot" for the day. Li took a tour of a plane, and even had the opportunity to visit the cockpit, taking a seat alongside the pilot.
