TRIUMPH OUT OF TRAGEDY
United Airlines Flight 93 lives on in
LeRoy W. Homer Jr. flight scholarships
BY DAVID TULIS
TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 11, 2001, defined a generation
after terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners and used them
as weapons of war. Three crashed into symbols of America-the
twin towers in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington,
D.C.-and passengers on United Airlines Flight 93 saved countless
others when they battled to veer the flight from the target of
the hijackers who had seized control from Capt. Jason Dahl and
First Officer LeRoy Homer Jr.
The LeRoy W. Homer Jr. Scholarship Foundation has turned
tragedy into promise. The first officer's widow, Melodie, pledged
to keep her husband's memory alive by fully funding primary flight
training scholarships for those demonstrating a strong desire to
pursue aviation, a balanced background, and a financial need.

Melodie Homer said her husband would be " amazed " at the 25
young people who have already become pilots while keeping the
pilot's memory alive. She explained that flight training can vary
widely depending on location, so the scholarships fund the entire
expense-from the first day of ground school to the private pilot
checkride-no matter the cost.
" We really wanted to look at this young adult population and
sort of replicate what LeRoy did by having them follow in his
footsteps, " and opening the doors to a variety of potential aviation
careers.
She said the Homer flight scholarships recipients have a 100
percent completion rate and span military, commercial, and general
aviation pilots. " We have four military pilots-two in the Air
Force, two in the Navy-and two recipients who are currently at
the Air Force Academy. We have people in the cockpit, we have
people working in the airlines, we have people in cyber security,
and we have people working at Boeing. We have cargo pilots, general
aviators, and flight instructors. "
Homer believes her husband's " big plan was exactly what he
did. " A U.S. Air Force Academy graduate, he flew for his country in
" the exact plane that he wanted-the [Lockheed] C-131 Starlifter,
