WATCH: Remember the Irish pilot brothers? They’ve taken to the sky again in a heart-warming video

Alan Loughnane

The original was one of our favourite videos of 2016…

You may remember the video of Mikey McMahon bringing his little brother Robbie flying for the first time… if you haven’t you really need to check it out, you won’t regret it.

It was a deeply emotional watch and without doubt one of our favourite videos of the year so far.

Robbie is living with a condition called William’s Syndrome, a rare neurodevelopmental disorder that affects 1 in 10,000 people worldwide, and the joy on his face in both videos is something to behold.

Following on from his maiden flight a few months ago, Mikey and Robbie went on their second flight recently, and Robbie’s first trip in a helicopter.

This will warm your cold, cold hearts…

Cheers to Mikey McMahon for sending this our way. If you have something you would like to share with us, send it to our WhatsApp number 087-4001102, [email protected] or hit us up on Facebook or Twitter.
