| 1st visit 5/2011 |
About four or five years ago, my son and I went with the Cub Scouts to Moffett Field for the Wings of Freedom tour. A collection of World War II airplanes held by the Collings Foundation, flown around the country on an annual tour. When first spotted the planes flying over our house, we got details of the event, and we've gone every year since. He has long been interested in the history of the warplanes and is always a great opportunity for him to see them.

Last year I took the extra step of finding out how he might get included in volunteer opportunities. I got the name of the right person to contact, set a calendar reminder and reached out to them earlier this year.

He went today, worked all day, and called me, excited as could be that he was about to board and ride a B25 Mitchell! His dream! And after that, he'll get a ride on a B17. I can’t tell you how thrilled I am for him. The video below is the B25, with him aboard, flying over his home and school.
