The Flight of Samantha Cunningham

Samantha Cunningham has one goal and one goal only: to build an airplane and take to the skies, much to the chagrin of her cautious Father.

Samantha Cunningham wants to build airplanes, much to the chagrin and empty wallet of her Father. She decides it's finally time, and constructs her own full size airplane. She tries to fly it on her own, while her Dad is late at work, but crashes horribly after a brief, soaring moment. Her beautiful airplane is destroyed, and Samantha is at a loss. Her Dad pulls a favor with an old friend, Martha, an inspiring female aviator. Martha takes Samantha for a ride and rekindles her fledgling dreams of flight.
