Mich. WWII vet takes final flight in B-17 bomber
"The sight of the giant silver bomber was more than the 84-year-old former Air Force pilot from Wayne County's Northville Township could take. More than 50 years had passed since he last flew a B-17; the reunion between plane and pilot was an emotional one.
His son, Daniel Skubick, quickly moved to his father's side with a wheelchair. The elder Skubick sat, and began to cry."
Where did we get such brave young men?
