Airman Aaron will fly copilot aboard the Commemorative Air Force's
famous Boeing B-29 Superfortress bomber, the only remaining flying
example of the aircraft in the world. Aaron is a Commemorative Air Force
member and also serves as a spokesperson for the organization.
The
event is open to the public and will allow attendees to get up close
