Dream Flights Biplane Ride

[Vaughn McMillan]

My longtime friend and bandmate Jeff's mom is a 97 year old WWII vet. Yesterday she and a few other old folks got to ride in an old Stearman biplane that was in town as part of the Dream Flights project. Here's an article that was in today's Albuquerque Journal:
