WE FLY THE WORLD
EARTHROUNDER MISSION
MAY 1, 2021 TAKE OFF
One-eyed pilot, Shinji Maeda, will fly around the world to give a motivational speech. He has been inspiring people to pursue their dreams through his motivational speech 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 right eyesight because of a car accident. He had faced the fact that he could never pursue his dream of becoming a pilot in Japan because of the law. However, he made it happen by overcoming the tragedy. He became a pilot here in the U.S. and now he enjoys sharing his love and passion for flying with his student pilots as a flight instructor. He has been sending an inspirational message to people and has reached out to thousands of people in the U.S. and Japan.
