Some facts about deaf pilots:

1. The first one was Cal Rodgers away back in 1911. He was the first pilot,
hearing or deaf, to transit the United States, in a Wright Model B called
the Vin Fiz.

For those of you who are new here and may not know about it, I highly
recommend Henry Kisor's book, "Flight of the Gin Fizz", about his
reenactment of Cal Rodgers' flight. It establishes once and for all
that in aviation fun is mandatory, but radios are optional.
