Jordan, Rancho Mirage, CA
"I wish to be a pilot"

Jordan knows a lot about flying. Though he suffers from cerebral palsy which confines him to a wheelchair and prevents him from speaking, the first message he voiced via teletype confirmed for us how passionate he was about becoming a pilot. On wish day, Jordan arrived at Boeing and readied himself for his flight to SFO from LAX in the state-of-the-art Boeing DC-11 flight simulator. After a pre-flight check, Jordan received an "all-clear" status. With assistance from his co-pilot, Jordan moved his aircraft onto the runway and orchestrated a smooth take-off! The last thing Jordan tapped out for his co-pilot was, "Did I pass?" "With flying colors", responded his fellow co-pilot.
