With all the bad news these days, it is good to hear that the spirit of individual courage and strength to overcome is still alive. I wish more of us were like you, instead of complaining and whining, going for it and overcoming. Our country can use more people like you. Congratulations!! You are an inspiration to all of us.

Been a pretty good day at my house. I soloed today after about 30 hours of instruction over the last 10 months. As most of you know, I'm disabled (C-5 quadriplegic) and to the best of my knowledge (and I've looked hard) the only quad that has done so. Most of the disabled pilots you hear about are paraplegic. Due to their ground breaking work, I was able to build on it and achieve this goal. Everybody on this forum helped, encouraged, cautioned and generally were invaluable. THANK YOU TO ALL....
