For more than 40 years, Orbis International has worked to expand access to quality eye care around the world, with its Flying Eye Hospital at its core. Aviation depends on vision. Pilots, air traffic controllers and mechanics rely on sight to work safely. Yet for millions of people around the world, access to quality eye care remains out of reach. As the aviation community gathers in New York City this October for the Orbis Aviation Gala, we'll celebrate four decades of support. The Flying Eye Hospital has shown what's possible when this community applies its ingenuity, expertise and resources to a challenge far beyond aviation itself. aviationweek.com/air-transpo…
