Justin Falls, a full-time pharmacist is converting and customizing a Zenith STOL CH-750 to hand controls. Justin intends to purchase the customized CH 750, and plans to share his airplane with fellow pilots.

Incidentally, Justin is a quadriplegic, a pilot, and by all accounts, a darned good one. Recently, Justin did some flying with fellow-pilot and eminently able paraplegic John Robinson. The occasion may well have marked history’s first instance of what Justin called, “ … a quadriplegic pilot and a paraplegic pilot get out of their wheelchairs, squeeze into a small airplane together, and take to the sky." Velocity Aircraft has some big plans in the works. Big, in this instance, pertains to the six-place iteration the company is developing of its popular, four-place, V-Twin aircraft. Stretching a fiberglass / carbon-composite airframe 24-inches longitudinally and four inches both vertically and laterally is an ambitious undertaking, but one well-suited to Velocity’s decades of experience and aeronautical know-how. The Coast Guard rescued seven people, Saturday, after their 39-foot personal vessel was struck by lightning 100 offshore of Clearwater, Florida. A Coast Guard Air Station Clearwater MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter aircrew hoisted the five women and two men without medical concerns, and returned them to the air station where family greeted them.
