Sokratis Karavidas Hello from Greece. I`m a 38 years old pilot living in Ioannina (Greece) and 5 years ago I had a bad crash while I was paragliding. I felt from 10 meters and had spinal cord injury at level O1-O2-T12 and after 4 surgeries I can walk with some difficulty and still can fly. I have license for gliders and ultralight aircrafts and I'm a member of the Aerathletic Club Of Ioannina (www.lai.gr). You can put me in the list with other disabled pilots and I'd like to know if there is any organization to protect me from an employ at our airport from Civil Aviation Authority who believes that I must not fly cause I'm disabled!!!!!! Thank you anyway Best regards from Greece, Sokratis Karavidas
