Signature Flight Support’s Chicago Executive airport facility donated time and personnel support this week to sponsor a four-day event called “Ageless Aviation Dreams,” named after the parent non-profit organization. The ageless event offered Chicago-area veterans an opportunity to experience the thrill of a dream flight from the front cockpit of a 1942 PT-17 Boeing Stearman, the aircraft used to train military aviators in the late 1930s and early ’40s. Ageless Aviation has one mission … “Giving back to those who have given.” All Ageless pilots are volunteers.
