One of our very own EAA Chapter 320 members, Dr. Charles "Chuck" Allen, was recently featured in a TMJ4 article and video, discussing how he has been working to change the stigma around what a pilot often looks like. Chuck has been flying since 1979, and is involved in a number of aviation-related activities, including acting as a flight instructor at Wisconsin Aviation. We're proud to have him as part of our EAA chapter and aviation community. Check out the full interview below!
It all started as a $200 bet. A Black man says he was told, "you can't fly." Since then, Dr. Charles Allen has done all he can to introduce kids to aviation and change the stigma of what a pilot often looks like.
Fantastic, super excited about the new frontier Doctor Charles Allen is pioneering. Richard Rodgers Vice President Retired Center for Veterans Issues
