VIDEO: Irish pilot flies with his 5-year-old brother for the first time (and now we’re emotional wrecks)

Tony Cuddihy

This will warm your cold, cold heart and if it doesn’t you need to see a clinician.

Brotherly love plays a massive part in this video as pilot Mikey McMahon brings his five-year-old brother Robbie flying for the first time.

Robbie is living with Williams Syndrome, a rare neurodevelopmental disorder that affects 1 in 10,000 people worldwide, and his lust for life at such a young age could not be clearer.

You can see from the video how much Mikey adores his little brother, who we hope had a lovely dinner when his spin up in the sky was over.

If you’re not having a good day, please watch this.
