Taking Flight

On September 27, 1992, ten-year-old Vicki Van Meter took her first flying lesson in a Cessna 150. In the next year and a half she would: complete flight training school; pilot a single-engine aircraft across both the United States and the Atlantic Ocean; be seen on television, newspapers and magazines around the world; visit the White House; even receive an ESPN Arete Award for Courage in Sports. Hear her story and be inspired once again by this firsthand account of her life and journeys along with pictures and personal letters. A great read for children and adults alike.
