Ninety-nine-year-old WWII veteran Wiley Tow soared back into the skies in a restored Stearman biplane—just like the ones he flew during his service—offering a soaring tribute to the Greatest Generation. As part of Dream Flights’ heartfelt mission, Tow and fellow veterans from the Ussery-Roan Texas State Veterans Home experienced a 15-minute flight over Amarillo, all costs covered by the nonprofit that’s flown over 8,000 vets since 2011. Tow, who’ll turn 100 on August 14, signed the plane’s tail—a cherished tradition—and is now the center of a statewide birthday card campaign, culminating in a public celebration at the veterans home that same day.
