   PAYING IT FORWARD, NFL-STYLE! Jimmy Graham’s Enduring Impact on General Aviation

   Jimmy Graham is a legend in the NFL, beginning with the New Orleans Saints in 2010, his career included playing for the Seattle Seahawks, Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears before returning to the Saints in 2023. During his career, he made five trips to the pro bowl and became one of the most prolific Tight-ends that the game has even known. What you may NOT know, is that, off the field, Jimmy is an extremely accomplished fixed and rotor-wing pilot who’s approach to aviation is as disciplined as his approach to football. His flying takes him across the treeline in his Vietnam-era UH-1 Huey, onto remote lakes in his DeHavilland Beaver on floats, upside down in his Extra 330 and into the flight levels in his Turbo Commander. Most of all though, Jimmy Graham is someone dedicated to helping others. Whether it is flying veterans in the Huey or working with kids as chairman of EAA’s Young Eagles program, Jimmy Graham is a force of good in the world of aviation and beyond. “SocialFlight Live!” is a live broadcast dedicated to supporting General Aviation pilots and enthusiasts during these challenging times.
