Delta Airlines trashed my wheelchair. Northwest Airlines trashed my wheelchair too. Both times, they destroyed them completely, tearing upholstery, gouging the finish right down to the metal, scraping the rims to the point of jagged edges and bending the frame. A few years ago, this would have been devastating to my livelihood since at that time I was modeling and doing television work, and a destroyed wheelchair is not very photogenic. Now it's mainly a really big inconvenience, riding around in a damaged banged up chair while I wait for my replacement to be made.

It was my first flight with my precious power chair. I had a bad feeling from the outset but took every precaution I could to ensure we both made it to Syracuse in one piece. I made a large white label and taped it to the front of the seat with instructions that the chair must be taken out of gear to be pushed and how to do it. Also, I'd written in big letters, "Handle With Care." I gave details that it was equipped with dry batteries, so only needed the joystick disconnected, which is easily done.
