Drone Flights for Disabled Veterans
Donation protected
My name is Louis DeBono. I am a disabled veteran and drone pilot. I fly drones utilizing FPV (first person view) goggles, which allows the wearer to see thru the perspective of the drone he or she is flying, through the drones camera, immersing the pilot in the experience of flight. One afternoon, I let a good friend and fellow disabled veteran, a parapalegic who has not walked in over 40 years, wear the goggles and I took him on a flight. His reaction to the experience was amazing. The feeling of freedom he described and the joy it brought to him was inspiring. I wanted to share this experience with more veterans. Men and women, who in serving our great nation, had their mobility taken from them. I wanted to take them places through drone flight, that they might not be able to visit before... Their destinations are limitless. And all it takes is an FPV camera equipped drone and FPV goggles... And there is no place on earth these folks can't go.
