Dear Aero Zyoangu Project Supporter
Thank you for your continuing cooperation and support for Aero Zypangu Project. Given the COVID-19 outbreak, we decided to postpone our Earthrounder Mission that we planned in 2020.
Now, the new departure date has been set on May 1, 2021.
We will be updating you with more information as we get closer to the day. Stay tuned!
One-eyed pilot, Shinji Maeda, will fly around the world to give a motivational speech. He has been carrying an inspirational message out to people and has reached out to thousands of people in the U.S. and Japan.
Now, it’s time to go beyond and deliver this message to many more people across the world. It is happening. We believe it’s possible.

"If I can do it, you can do it too."
When he was 18 years old, he lost his eyesight in one eye after getting involved in a car accident. He had to face the fact that by law he could never pursue his dream of being a pilot in Japan. However, he made it happened by overcoming the tragedy. He became a pilot and now he enjoys sharing his love and passion for flying with his student pilots as a flight instructor. He has been carrying an inspirational message out to people and has reached out to thousands of people in the U.S. and Japan.

DISCOVERY FLIGHT

"Our middle school students LOVED Mr. Maeda’s inspirational speech! He was fun, energetic, and instantly connected with our students. His story was inspiring, and the students were very engaged. I really enjoyed how his story was about his family, friends, GRIT, and perseverance, all of which is something the youth needs in today’s world."
"I approached Shinji at Aero Zypangu because I wanted my students to become optimistic about their future and to realize that there are many possible career paths in front of them. His personal story of perseverance despite obstacles helped inspire my students and opened their eyes to a world of unlimited possibilities."
Your Support Matters
When I fly the world, you will be flying with me in my heart.
Let's make this happen together.
