The pair flew a Cessna 172 airplane from Mexico to Alaska and reached more than 1,000 students in the process. After returning to Texas, Wall and Dominguez formed the Global Advancement Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping students inspire others and to follow their dreams and aspirations. During the next year, the plane will be stored in Houston where Wall can work on it in his spare time. Occasionally, the pilots will fly to air shows where the plane will be opened to children and used to promote the world flight next summer. It is a shiny airplane.
Kids like to touch the knobs and instruments.
Sometimes for the young pilots, the idea of lifting that plane off the ground next August seems as distant and as impossible as flying to Mars.
