I was so amazed! I'm so pleased with your video, and thank you for sharing this with us! :)

Are you thinking of trying it out? I'm so glad deaf pilots are succeed.

Cool!

There was an article last year, I believe, In Jacksonville, IL about a deaf pilot there.

Deb Ann...just last night at work I wondered about that, seems like an interesting lesson to take. I've already met or known about 5 deaf pilots and they all share good experiences about it.

Lane,
That was very exciting video. I have not been flying in years. I never knew there was a deaf pilot association. Learn something new everyday.

Should have taken the plane to the wonderful rolling hills of Tennessee!

Val, definitely a better view in Tennessee than it is here. Here is way too brownish and flatty.

Wow, this is the second time this week that I have come across a deaf pilot! I think this is awesome because there is so many deaf people that want to become a pilot or a flight attendent. Thanks for sharing this with us :)

I must have been up in the clouds because I could have sworn I added you to my Google Reader and I thought you stopped blogging! Your added now and I will be stopping by more often :)

Lane said...

Abbie, good to see you in here again.

Drmzz...about 40 minutes in air.

DeafK...I strongly feel the count of Deaf pilots will double in ten years from now.

I came across this post about a month ago...this is vlogged by Tyler a young guy who dreams to be a pilot someday. There are also other links relating to Deaf pilots and organizations left by Tyler's commenters there too.
