Dear Indy, Your gift will enable someone with a disability to become a pilot or to have a career in aviation. A minute now can change a life forever. Thanks to Aircraft Spruce for their support of our scholarship fund. Able Flight pilot Devon Radloff is now enrolled in an aviation career training program. Congratulations Devon!  Thanks to Perrone Aerospace for being a founding sponsor of Able Flight scholarships. In 2012, Able Flight has made it possible for eight people to earn pilot certificates and two others to be trained for a career in aviation. Thanks to everyone who has helped make this possible! (L-R Bill Perrone, Tony Pizzifred, Dave Hirschman and Adam Kisielewski) WOUNDED VETERANS TONY PIZZIFRED AND ADAM KISIELEWSKI RECEIVE THEIR ABLE FLIGHT WINGS  Honoring their achievement of earning a license in 2012, wounded veterans Tony Pizzifred of Florida and Adam Kisielewski of Maryland received their Able Flight Wings in recent ceremonies. Pizzifred's wings were pinned by Able Flight founding sponsor Bill Perrone of Perrone Aerospace during a ceremony at NBAA, and Kisielewski received his wings from AOPA PILOT Magazine Senior Editor Dave Hirschman during the opening keynote address at AOPA Summit. You'll find  features on Tony and Adam  here. .   LESS THAN THREE WEEKS UNTIL #GIVING TUESDAY...
