Dream Flight honoring veterans in Kansas
WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) – On Monday, the non-profit group, Dream Flights, gave seven army veterans an opportunity to fly in a Boeing Stearman biplane. The 1940 open cockpit plane was utilized in army coaching.
“First time I’ve been in an open cockpit. It was fairly thrilling. I can’t describe it,” mentioned Bob Giebler, a 92-year-old veteran.
Monday’s occasion was held at Stearman Subject in Benton, Kansas. Organizers say their mission is to offer veterans and seniors the journey of a lifetime.
“These folks sacrifice in ways in which us non-veterans can’t even think about. That is our approach of simply saying thanks for all the pieces they’ve completed for us,” mentioned Dream Flights pilot and founder Darryl Fisher mentioned.
If you want to request a flight, there’s a “Request a Dream Flight” choice on the group’s web site.
