Our Mission:
Raise awareness and money for brain tumor and cancer research
Thank you for visiting our website! In 2007 brain cancer survivor, Brian “Brain” Kissinger, completed the restoration of his 1942 Army Air Corps L-4 Cub and flew it across the country for 3 weeks raising over $50,000. This was a great accomplishment completed with the help of many people.
However “Brain’s Flight” was not just 1 mission flying across the country. Today "Brain’s Flight" lives on as a way to raise awareness and money for brain tumor and cancer research through grassroots aviation. Though "Brain" has moved on from his beloved L-4 airplane, he continues on his mission in other aircraft and other vehicles.
Please come back often to check on the latest Brain’s Flight is doing to accomplish its mission.
One of the latest things is a group Pietenpol project & his new Fly Baby!
You can always email "Brain" at brain-at-brainsflight.com (replace the -at- with an @)

Why I Fly
A Sonnet by Brain
Why do I fly every possible day?
I fly to escape ordinary things;
Climbing up high my worries fall away
Because of my machine with magic wings.
Then it’s time to return for the landing
In my little airplane so small and svelte;
Checklist called out with good understanding
CHECK gas is on and SECURE my seat belt.
Forward slip near the ground, sideways it looks;
Nothing else on earth now matters you see
Beautiful ending, just like in kids’ books.
Why do I fly? It rejuvenates me.
Flying takes me from the ordinary
And I become extraordinary.
