Air Force recruit gets wish granted at Dayton Air Show
Air Force recruit gets wish granted at Dayton Air Show
Recent United States Air Force recruit Daniel Dendler wrote an essay as a part of the Young Eagles program to get a chance to fly with Aviation Hall of Famer Sean D. Tucker. Dendler's essay was picked as the winner.

How wonderful for this young man. I never heard of this before.

That has to be a great program. The kids that get to fly with these pros are really lucky and I bet their motivation really jumps.

Thanks for the kind words in the comments. the EAA Young Eagles programs is a great program -- it has flown nearly 2 million kids ages 8-17 free of charge since 1992. Sean Tucker is the current chairman, but chairmen have included such people as Chuck Yeager, Harrison Ford and Sully Sullenberger. You can find out more at www.youngeagles.org.
