After he became a pilot, Vikas Jyani made sure that 22 residents from his village — ages 70 and up got to trial the magic of flying.

Jyani comes from a small village in India called Sarangpur, in Adampur, and his father says he’s always respected his elders. According to The Times Of India Jyani couldn’t wait to give back — and the passengers from Sarangpur were elated.

The oldest, a 90-year-old woman named Bimla, and one of the many passengers who had never flown before, said to The Times it felt like a dream, and feature that “many people make promises to elderly but Jyani kept his word.”

Jyani’s father, Mahendra Jayani, went on to say that Vikas accomplished  his dream with the flight, too. “That’s the most important thing for me,” Mahendra said. “All youth should follow Vikas’ example and we should all respect our elders.”

The group visited the Golden Temple, Jallianwala Bagh, and Wagah Border.
