Disabled person flying

[tiwifins]

Hi - I am British and now live in the USA. Does anyone know a good resource for finding out where I can get my PPL over here? I am trying to locate a good school that has adapted aircarft and the right instructors

Thanks

I'm pretty sure there's a disabled pilots association. Haven't a clue what it might be called (er....'Disabled Pilots Association'? ). AOPA in the US would probably be able to direct you.

Can't help you in the States but in the UK last I heard John Askew based at Barton near Manchester was chairman of the Delta Foxtrot Club and is keen to help out wherever you are. Try writing to him c/o Barton Airport, Manchester, UK

You should try to get in touch with Mike Smith, who runs a school at Big Bear In California.
Mike is president of the International Wheelchair Pilot Association, and fly, commercially a C337 Skymaster . I think he is involved in Part135 Operations.
A great man.
I'll try to find his contact details; meanwhile, take a look here or there
