We have painted the tail of our plane with the flag of Kosovo. We are very proud of the work that has been done, and are very happy to say that the identity of our aircraft and the identity of Kosovo have become one and the same. After the plane was painted, James hand washed every inch of the aircraft from the nose to the tail, and while doing this he was asked “The plane is going to be exposed to many elements during your trip, how do you intend to keep it clean?” James looked at the freshly painted flag of Kosovo, and with a glimmer in his eye he responded:
“Though I will not have time to wash the entire aircraft every time I land, I will always wash the flag and make sure that it shines bright enough for the whole world to see. Because when I see the colors of Kosova I don’t just see a flag, I see the mountains, the rivers, and the people of my country. When I see my flag I remember people of the past who have fought so hard and died for my country, and I think of the future of our children who deserve happiness and should never have to experience fear and uncertainty for standing on the ground they were born on. This flag is so much more than just paint, the image represents something so profound for so many people and while I am alive I will never let it become clouded with dirt.”

The aircraft is currently undergoing maintenance and an annual inspection to make sure she is airworthy and prepared for the task she is about to be given. There will be a few more modifications to the exterior appearance of the aircraft in order to compliment the flag and state James’ purpose in this journey. On both sides of the aircraft we plan on putting the words “Please recognize Kosovo’s Independence!” in English and in Spanish, if you have any suggestions as to the wording of that phrase feel free to send an email to james.berisha@flyingforkosovo.com and let us know, we will consider your suggestion. We will have more updates for you soon, so please check back often.
Well done, Mr. Berisha. I really like the Cessna painting tail.
Do you plan making a hop to BKPR?
Regards,
Fatmir

Greeting/Pershendetje James
First of all I want to thank you for this amazing journey that you are doing for our country, and I hope you will accomplish this with a great success.
We really need more people like you; it doesn’t mean that everyone has to fly.
Worldwide we are not too many people but we are spread all over the world, and for that reason, I believe if everyone put their time and effort as much as possible, that would be a great contribution to Kosova
James, I wish you all the best and God Bless you
Although I am curious to know, are you going to make a tour around Canada (Toronto)?
Best Regards
This is very inspiring!
