Rick Amber founded Challenge Air with the belief that, "every disabled person should see the world from a different view...out of their wheelchairs and crutches and from the sky." This belief of Amber's came from his life experiences. As a fighter pilot and training officer in the US Navy from 1967 to 1971, Amber lost the use of his legs when his jet crashed during a landing attempt on the aircraft carrier USS Hancock. He was returning from his 109th combat mission over Vietnam, in high seas, when the ship's landing system failed. He was twenty-six years old.
As supporters of Challenge Air we invite you to become a part of this wonderful oppoutunity for people of all ages to come together and make a difference for physically challenged children and youth.
