When I first started having a Sam voice, I imagined he was part of the team that created the Falcon suit, or even made them on his own; much like the Ultimate Comics Falcon. Canon has directly opposed this since it is clear the suit was built by Stark Industries. As a consolation prize, I am thinking a niece or cousin of Sam's is the one who built it and she wanted Sam to be the one to fly it.
I have a vague fic about how Sam taught her to fly kites as a kid (when she was going threw some tough time) and the closing dialog is her telling him she's given him wings now.
