Oh my gosh...a BLIND pilot!! I'm so reassured to read that he traveled with a sighted co-pilot! It would be interesting to know what sort of sensations he enjoys when flying, since he's missing the one that seems the most important one, the ability to see the view! I suppose since he's exposed to the elements in that little plane, he does have more of a sense of flying, wind on his face, etc. And he said he's doing it to raise money to prevent blindness, not so much for "fun".:thumbsup: :tiphat:

Undeniably inspiring ... wonder if the spouse thinks/thought so, too. :thinking:
