Donald Muncy is a 100-year-old Navy veteran airman living in Ohio. He got to fly again Tuesday, waving before a crow of 100 people, per Fox News.
The event was organized by Dream Flights. This non-profit organization honors seniors and military veterans by offering them a flight in a Boeing Steerman biplane.
They also “collect, preserve and share” tales of those who served in order “to remind us of our shared humanity, our connection to each other and the value of listening.”
Muncy described his love of flying and how this new flight made him feel. He said, “I live to fly.”
“I was raised on aviation. It’s always great to get in the air. It was a beautiful flight,” he went on.

Dream Flights founder Darryl Fisher piloted the plane. This was the organization’s 6,000th flight celebrating American heroes from World War II.
Muncy fought in both World War II and the Korean War. He joined the Navy as a teen fresh out of high school.
He said, “I had just finished lunch and gone to the library to look at some books” when he was called to duty in 1941.
