Hicks, Grace Flight Helping Transplant Patient

Breaking news on that story about Andrew Madden, the young heart-transplant patient who needed a lift to Boston to watch his beloved Bosox in the World Series. Seems that thanks to the efforts of Butch Smith — a honcho with Addison-based Grace Flight of America — an unidentified owner of the Cutter Aviation FBO at Collin County Regional Airport has offered up his Hawker 700 corporate jet to whisk Andrew to Beantown Thursday. And, Smith adds, mega-mogul Tom Hicks has stepped up to the plate to buy all the fuel for the trip. Takeoff time from the McKinney airport tomorrow: 10 a.m.
