My Dream
As spoken by the parents of the late Heather McRoberts:
“We have all been inspired by Heather’s spirit, life and aviation itself to ‘give wings’ to future generations,” says her father, Dave.
Her mother, Jan, goes on to say that, “A lot of people have the desire to fly but not the funds or the direction. EAA can provide that direction and support.”
