Posted: Tue Jan 09, 2007 9:29 am Post subject: Question About Dave Pelletier

Folks,



I've been asked a question about Dave Pelletier, and I don't know the

answer.  I've been asked if Dave Pelletier was an amputee.  Since I've

never seen a picture of Dave, I don't know the answer.  I'd be very much

surprised if he was, since I talked to Mike, the night before they went

flying, and after he had met Dave.  Mike never mentioned that Dave was an

amputee, and I think he might have noticed.



Can someone tell me for certain?  Thanks!

Is it a lawyer asking this question?

No, He was not an amputee, but he did have but one eye which is not a 

handicap to flying. Several famous flyers had but one eye. Wiley Post for 

one.

No.  The sister of Mike Maikowski, who died in the crash with Dave, heard a

rumor that Dave Pelletier was an amputee.  She couldn't understand how an

amputee could be a pilot.  I'm not sure just what the FAA's stand is on

amputee pilots.



I figured it was just a crazy rumor, about Dave, and I wanted to put it to

rest.

That's probably how the rumor got started.  A missing eye becomes a missing

arm or leg.



Thanks for clearing that up.

They can be  however. They can check out in Ercoupes and be a private 

pilot.

Can someone please tell The Sister to check out Wheelchair Pilots  

International? I think they're still functioning --

Chris,

 There is a local pilot flying a modified Cessna 210 with hand  controls, he can't use the foot controls.

You might be interested to hear, one of my friends is flying MH-53's in the Air Force.  he lost his leg below the knee in combat action.  He flies with a prosthetic and recently took over as the commander of his squadron.  He could run circles around me any day.  Shows you what determination can do.

    

    

   Cheers,

 

 Rique

Don't forget Douglas Bader, who lost both legs in a crash in the 1930's but 

went on to become one of the leading aces of the Battle of Britian.
