Flying club offering affordable access to well-maintained aircraft
"This local EAA chapter has been the hands-on hub for a multi-year project to create the first experimental airplane modified to be flown with feet alone: a custom four-seat RV-10 nicknamed The Impossible Airplane. Spearheaded by Bob Newman and built over roughly four years in Toms River, volunteers and builders have been adapting controls and interior ergonomics so someone who uses their feet as hands can pilot comfortably and safely, turning a conventional aircraft design into a purpose-built accessibility demonstrator. The workshop environment reflects the grassroots, often older-skewing aviation community at small airfields, and the chapter’s work is explicitly tied to a broader effort to challenge assumptions about disability and prove capability through practical, visible achievement." - Rachel Chang Rachel Chang Rachel Chang is a travel and pop culture journalist who contributes to Travel + Leisure, Condé Nast Traveler, Lonely Planet, and more.
