There are several articles supporting folks who have physical disabilities.

And to those who wrote to me encouraging me in private, thanks but I am
already a pilot who full use of all my faculties, save mental from time
to time! :^)

A few weekas ago, a young woman with no arms (Yes -- she uses her feet
for everything) went to lunch with some of our Gaggle. She is learning
in an Ercoupe. A friend took her along in his SX-300, which she flew
with her feet on the stick!.

She is supposed to appear on Oprah some time soon.
