Program Focus
Freedom Wings cooperates with York Soaring to provide Inspirational Flights and flight training to adults and youth with a disability. Flights and training are conducted in a modified K-21 composite glider utilizing hand controls donated to York Soaring by YFC. Through the use of adaptive hand controls, no pilot is at a disadvantage and flight is experienced on equal terms.
The success of Freedom Wings has inspired similar programs at Vancouver Soaring, CuNim in Calgary, Lethbridge Soaring Club, Edmonton gliding Club
