According to reports, Chrystal gave birth to Sky less than an hour into flight and she has described experience as shocking. She said she felt extremely weird at first because everyone was talking about ' baby on plane'. Both mor and newborn baby were immediately transferred to hospital after landing and baby Sky was put on a breathing machine because he was born almost a month premature.

Chrystal mentioned that filling out baby Sky’s birth certificate was rar tricky because he was born 18,000 feet (5,500 meters) in air. Thus, in order to avoid writing ‘in air’ or ‘in an aeroplane’ she just decided to write Anchor. In dition to Sky, Chrystal Hicks has three or children d 3,9 and 11.
