Ilene Hammack's dream began - the way a good many dreams begin - with a glance at the heavens.
Hammack grew up on a farm in the Oklahoma Panhandle and at an early age became fascinated by the planes, large and small, she would occasionally see soaring through all that sky.
"Even the little crop duster planes I just fell in love with them all," Hammack said. "I could just imagine the sense of freedom you must have, up there in the sky all alone."
For most of her life, however, the dream of flying solo has been a dream denied Hammack, who has had Type 1 diabetes for more than 40 years.
