Just read an article about a blinc guy in england who's going to fly
around in a modified warrior. Apparently the system uses audio to
translate what the instruments show.
Good thing he has a safetypilot however, since he can't see traffic for
example. Maybe it's the wave of the future, soon you won't need eyesight
to get a PPL.
Why not. Ray Charles said his greatest joy was when they let him drive
a car.
Actually, I would think that flying an airplane would be rather boring
to a blind guy. I would think tandem sky diving would be far more
exhilarating to the senses.
More power to him ... Unless, of course, he is flying a glider.
