Students in this year's Able Flight program arrived on campus May 22 to overcome disabilities and take to the skies in Sky Arrow planes.
This year's class includes a retired U.S. Army captain who was wounded in combat by an improvised explosive device and an Indiana man who has no feeling from his chest down as a result of a childhood shooting accident. They are learning to fly through a North Carolina-based nonprofit organization which conducts the training at Purdue every year from May to July.
