That's me!

Except that my hair isn't blue, it's pink for the scalp showing

I met a young gentleman who became a sport pilot when he passed his
checkride the first day of OSH. I'm guessing he was in his early
twenties. He's also been in a wheelchair for 12 years. I can see a lot
of those who didn't want to deal with the hassle of a medical, or knew
they couldn't get one, but always wanted to fly.
