Sonoran Desert Flyers Makes an Impact on Members

-A A +A

The Sonoran Desert Flyers pilots do their best to provide great experiences to those who are interested in learning more about model flying. Over the years the members have impacted hundred of people, including new pilot Ryan. Ryan, 40- years old, has Cerebral Palsy, a disability that causes muscle spasms, slow growth, and involuntary movement. Despite all of this, he is a practicing psychiatrist. His father, Steve, took him out to the Sonaran Desert Flyers field to learn more about model flying-a hobby he believed would be fun for him to try. With the help of the Sonoran Desert Flyers, they were able to set up a day for Ryan to fly on a Tuesday morning, even though their typical flying day was Saturday. They packed up all their gear, found their club trainer, and set flight. Ryan enjoyed the experience so much that he will continue flying. The club is setting him up with a transmitter tray to smooth out his hand movements. The Sonoran Desert Flyers makes it possible for everyone to enjoy the love of model aviation. Bob Schuman, member of SDF, states, “All in all, this is what SDF does best. Stop by and meet them, your life will be better.”   Ryan SDF with Ryan
