Default What an incredible story!
Not too sure if this was posted earlier (I couldn't find anything in new posts) but my goodness.....what an awesome story!

Heck, I had 'issues' with thinking "Oh no, I am about to have a prop strike"...but yet, I am flaring about 30-feet high......

This awesome pilot flew half way around the world..........BLIND!

Incredible inspiration.
