"Pilots take disabled kids into the sky at Paine Field" read one headline from the Everett Herald. Rick Amber founded Challenge Air with the belief that, "every disabled person should see the world from a different view…out of their wheelchairs and crutches and from the sky."
Any child or youth living with a physical disability or life-threatening illness may pre-register for the program to receive a free flight in a small aircraft with two guests as well as attend a fair at the hangar. Here is a list of qualifying examples: Spinal Cord Injury Cerebral Palsy, Muscular Dystrophy, Multiple Sclerosis, Downs Syndrome, Spina Bifida, Autism, Cancer, Leukemia, Sight/Hearing Impaired, and others.
