After the September 11 attacks, global airspace was restricted and the Taliban were ousted. In January 2002, Kærn read about 16‑year‑old Farial in Kabul who dreamed of flying. With partner Magnus Bejmar, she financed a 1961 Piper Colt from sales of WASP paintings, flew 6,000 km to Kabul to give Farial her first flight and reclaim the skies.
