Flight Risk – A Story of Unlikely Friendship

Inspired by the astonishing true story of a World War II veteran, Flight Risk is a humorous and profound story of finding exactly who you need in life – when you least expect it.

99-year-old Hank Dunfield is found wandering aimlessly through a field in the early hours of the morning, five kilometers away from his residence at Ponderosa Pine Lodge. Just six weeks shy of his 100th birthday, the lodge recruits Sarah, a nursing student, to help keep Hank safe, comfortable, and in the building while they plan a grand centenarian celebration. There’s just one problem… Hank doesn’t want to live that long.

Bonding over a model Lancaster bomber, and a mutual love of good coffee, an unexpected friendship slowly develops between a tired man at the end of his journey and a young woman just beginning hers. A thoughtful rumination on aging, heroism, and finding inner peace, Flight Risk speaks to our shared humanity and will leave you uplifted for a brighter, more compassionate future.

When we arrive in St. Jacobs, we will stop for a visit at the St. Jacobs Farmers’ Market where every week, hundreds of vendors bring Ontario’s farm-fresh foods, crafts, imported goods and most things imaginable.

At 11:15am we will be driven to the quaint village of St Jacobs where we will have lunch at Jacob’s Grill.
