Sarah fears the future with multiple sclerosis will be even more isolated, difficult, and painful than the isolated, difficult, and painful present. Hank, a tail gunner during the Second World War, opens his heart to share the deep knowledge of fear, luck, and flying into battle he learned over his. combat missions. Sarah and Hank find strength in each other as they face their deepest fears.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBased on interviews with veterans in Alberta seniors' homes and the skilled nurses who care for them, \u003cem\u003eFlight Risk\u003c\/em\u003e is the story of finding exactly who you need when you least expect it.
