FreedomFlight 2008

On the first anniversary of the Freedom Flight We are planning to fly the first segment of the original flight route which was completed in 2007. This flight will start on June 2nd 2008 at 8:00 AM from Greenville, SC and arrive at Philadelphia Northeast airport at 11:00 AM, to visit Liberty Bell. We will depart Philadelphia at 2:30 PM on route to New York, for overflying and circling the Statue of Liberty at 3:00 pm. Our next destination will be landing Washington Dulles at 4:30 PM before returning to Greenville.  This will be a symbolic flight to commemorate Freedom Flight and reiterate its message to encourage the young generation in Iran to bring about changes that seems difficult to achieve; Whether these achievements are changing the political direction of our country, or changing personal ideology toward the goal of achieving a better future, or striving to compete athletically or technologically with the young generation of other nations.

Our goal is to set June 2nd as a day where every young Iranian focuses on the power of their ability to achieve. This phenomenon in time will change the course of our future and the faith of our nation. We are hopeful that in parallel with the June 2nd flight, our young generation rise to any challenges they believe it to be out of their reach. 
   

Parallel actions will take place in support of the Freedom Flight on June 2nd ;



We hope you can join us in this mission to challenge yourself on June 2nd and send us pictures and videos of whatever you do that day.
