LETTER TO THE EDITOR: World War II veterans offered a special flight
Ageless Aviation’s Dream Flight will be returning for its sixth year to Darlington on Friday, Sept. 3. The name has now been changed to Dream Flight. The event will take place at Branham’s Airport, 757 Branham Airport Rd., from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. What is so special about this flying of the 1940 Boeing Stearman open-cockpit aircraft is the project called Operation September Freedom. Aug. 1 to Sept. 30, we are trying to find any and all World War II veterans and offer them a chance to fly for 30 minutes in this aircraft that trained pilots prior to the war. This project is being undertaken across the country. You can go to the website, www.dreamflight.org to keep up with the latest events. Also, you can sign up for a flight. We are encouraging these World War II veterans to be part of this special event, a flight of honor.
For more information or an application, contact Mike Beckham of American Legion Post 13, Darlington, 843-393-1409 or 843-319-2764.
Mike Beckham, Darlington
