Searching For The Summer: A Story of Injury and Resolution

After an accident on his motorcycle left pilot Martin Lloyd badly disfigured, he was told he would never fly again. But despite his brokenness, Martin was determined to overcome his injury and pursue his passion for flight. Join him on his journey from the depths of tragedy to the heights of triumph as he goes Searching for the Summer.

From the age of six, when he received a model airplane as a gift from his aunt Gillian, Martin Lloyd dreamed of joining the Royal Air Force. At the age of twenty, that dream came true. Martin had felt stoked within him a burning passion to become an airline pilot, so after fourteen years in the RAF, he became a commercial pilot for Manx Airlines (Isle of Man). Soon after, Martin lost his right leg and the use of his right arm in a tragic motorcycle accident. He was stripped of his pilot's license and was told he would never fly again. Defying the odds, however, he went on to become the first disabled flight instructor in Europe, then the chief flying instructor at Anglo American Aviation in El Cajon, California. Today, he is head of training at the American Aviation Academy, where he teaches flying and is a flying examiner.
