John Macguire, the pilot of this plane, designs airplanes for Lockheed Martin for a living - and is also paralysed from waist-down. But it has not stopped him from taking to the skies! He has customized his 1941 Piper Cub himself to control the rudder also with his hands! To not just fly the plane with this condition, but to also perform aerobatics in it is an absolutely unbelievable feat! I dedicate this photo to John Macguire and all pilots out there who have overcome physical disabilities and have still managed to fly! Alliance Air Show 2008.
