“Unable!” That one word is so powerful in aviation. Yet, it’s almost a dirty word when I’m out of the airplane. I’ve learned that the worldview of many people with disabilities has been defined by others with that single word. I wish that wasn’t the case.
I got into aviation as a hobby and became a pilot before becoming a multinational motivational speaker. When I started seeing more of the world because of speaking invitations, I realized that general aviation is regarded as a novelty in most countries. People don’t just wake up one day and set out to become a pilot.
