Cheyenne Selected as one of Hope One’s Stop enroute through all 50 States
*From an email sent by The Flight of Human Spirit Project
It's always been Michael's dream to fly -- a dream he thought was lost forever, after a serious illness nearly took his life in 2003. Nearly seven years later, it's finally come true. But this flight is about more than fulfilling his dream. Michael knows what it's like to face impossible odds, and he's set out to inspire others to dream again and pursue those dreams with vigor and determination...and do it now.
To spread his message, Michael is flying a Remos Light Sport Aircraft -- dubbed "Hope One" -- into all 50 states, covering 19,500 miles in 40 flight days, and making stops at 135 airports along the way.

I am delighted to inform you that Michael has selected your airport as one of the 135 stops along his route, and expects to arrive on Monday, weather permitting. The itinerary for Flight Day #14 includes departing from Billings, Montana on Monday morning, making stops at Cody, Casper, Cheyenne, Ft. Collins, and ending in Denver. Michael's stops at each airport are usually for about an hour -- allowing time to refuel, talk to interested folks, pose for photos, or even do a short interview with the media.
Since flying the route involves many variables which often make it difficult to predict an exact time of arrival, the best way to keep up with the Flight's progress through the day is to view the Live Flight Tracker on the website. Self-updating every five minutes, the Tracker shows Michael's exact location. Clicking on the dot representing his location reveals Michael's altitude, compass course, groundspeed, and other details.
I hope you will give Michael a warm welcome when he arrives, and thanks so much for your help!
