Six Disabled Pilots Get Wings from Able Flight
Non-profit group has now awarded more than 100 flight training scholarships to handicapped aspiring aviators

With the pinning of wings on six new pilots, 501c(3) non-profit Able Flight, which provides flight training for aspiring disabled aviators, graduated its 10th class of aviators this week at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh. The six, disabled in military service or by accident, underwent seven weeks of intensive ground school and flight training (more than 700 total hours) at Purdue University and Ohio State University. A seventh grad was unable to attend the ceremony.
