Sky’s The Limit: Johnson Brunetti and Make-A-Wish® Connecticut Provide Flying Lessons for Local Teen

In May 2021, 16-year-old Madison Bromberg completed her final round of chemotherapy for the Lymphoma she was diagnosed with in January of that year. Madison’s dream is to learn how to fly an airplane and someday follow in her grandfather’s footsteps of joining the U.S. Air Force. Johnson Brunetti Retirement and Investment Specialists teamed up with Make-A-Wish® Connecticut to help make that happen. Phil Smith from learn 2 fly Connecticut took Madison on a tour of Hartford Jet Center at the Hartford Brainard Airport. He showed her around the hanger and let her experience flight firsthand on the simulator.
