The movement humans dream of at night and design machines to achieve.
My ASL Dictionary has a cartoon of female pilot,
Eleanor “Nellie” Zabel Willhite, showing the hand signs for FLY and AIRPLANE (with a photograph of her and her plane posted behind her).
As the first deaf woman to earn a pilot’s license, her first solo flight in 1928, Eleanor’s story is also part of My ASL Dictionary’s Deaf History bio’s.
Palm slightly down, the combined LY hand (or ILY) moves forward and up like an airplane taking flight.
The hand sign for AIRPLANE moves the LY hand forward and up in a small double motion.
