Dream Flight for Veterans in Waukesha
WAUKESHA, Wis. - They were honoring veterans through flight in Waukesha today.
It was a flight to remember for 16 local veterans.
"Thank you for your service. Just relax and let us do all the work," said Jeff Klosky, a Dream Flight pilot. "It’s a very little thank you to give them a great experience as they’re in their older years."
The Dream Flight organization allows veterans around the country to experience a flight in a classic war aircraft—for free.
"It creates a magical experience with the wind in your face and able to see everything around you," said Klosky.
