THERE IS LOTS WRONG IN THE WORLD TODAY; THERE IS MORE WRONG THAN RIGHT, ISN'T THAT TRUE? 

THERE IS THE RECESSION, LAYOFFS, DIVORCE, POVERTY, DRUGS AND WAR, NOT TO MENTION THE DAILY GRIND.  SO HOW ON EARTH CAN I BE MORE THAN FINE?

IF YOU HAVE ANY FOOD IN THE REFIGERATOR AND MORE THAN THE SHIRT ON YOUR BACK, YOU ARE CONSIDERED RICH BY MOST OF THE WORLD'S POPULATION. IF YOU KNOW GOD IS MIGHTY TO SAVE, AND JESUS DIED FOR YOUR SINS, YOU ARE THE WEALTHIEST OF THE WEALTHY.  HELP ME HELP THE KAYE FAMILY FEED THE PEOPLE OF THAILAND WITH FOOD FOR THE SOUL.  THE SOUL IS THE GOAL!
 
I WANT MORE THAN JUST OK, DON'T YOU?

Chandy Clanton also pilots her
way to speaking engagements across the country...

2nd Best:  Chandy's faith-based message describing her pursuit of excellence, from her years as a collegiate swimmer through her membership on the United States Unlimited Aerobatic Team.  Chandy experienced what it was like to be the very best female aerobatic pilot in the world, only to be left feeling empty and wanting more.  She finally found "more" when she let Jesus be number one in her life.  Chandy now knows it's better to be second best .
 
Fly the Plan:  The pursuit of any achievement begins with desire and planning.  Chandy presents what it is like to train for the World Aerobatic Championships, and particularly, the exciting moments leading up to and including a championship flight.  Watch the flight while Chandy walks through the sequence describing each maneuver and the external factors affecting the flight.  Learn why execution of the plan leads to memorable performances, even though Chandy thinks the best flights are flights you won't even remember!
