“When I heard all about the amazing work that Able Flight does, offering flight and aviation career training to people with physical disabilities that increases their self-confidence and independence, I knew that it was something FlyRight should be a part of,” said FlyRight president Matt Hapgood. The Charlotte, N.C., company is an FAA Part 142 training provider specializing in King Air flight simulation-based training (Booth C7633).

The recipient of the training scholarship, Randy Green, was born without hands or feet. That said, he has never let his disability stop him from pursuing his passion for flight. He is an ATP, multiengine-rated pilot with both single- and multiengine flight instructor certificates, and currently flies a Cessna P210 as a corporate pilot.

“With a new King Air type rating I’ll have even more opportunities,” said Green. “I can’t begin to express how thankful I am to Able Flight and FlyRight for supporting my career.”
