Flight Across America to honor 9/11 victims --
June 7, 2002 - AOPA Online
This summer volunteer pilots will honor victims of the September 11 tragedy by flying across the
country. Starting on August 11 from Paine Field in Everett, Washington, Flight Across America will
link with other flights and converge in New York City on the one-year anniversary. Fifty state flags will
be delivered to the city. The goal is to have at least one aircraft take off and land from every airport in
the country during the month-long celebration of flight. There will also be fly-in picnics. Flight Across
America was dreamed up by Molly Peebles, who has a newly discovered passion for flight and a
desire to make a difference after September 11. |
