Doug Betters can’t walk but he can fly. His airplane is equipped with hand controls and he is equipped with an unflinching desire to seize life. He once dominated 300-pound linemen and collected NFL trophies. Today he saves lives, and flies when the sky calls.
Last week, Betters maneuvered in a wheelchair around his airplane, which sits in a hangar at Glacier Park International Airport. He explained that he hasn’t flown in two years because of his wife’s motion sickness. Not to mention, flying costs a lot of money.
