A U.S. Navy veteran airman who served the nation in two wars took to the skies over the heartland again yesterday. <\/p>\n

“I live to fly,” Donald Muncy, 100, told Fox News Digital after soaring over the cornfields and town square of Urbana, Ohio.<\/p>\n

“I was raised on aviation. It\u2019s always great to get in the air. It was a beautiful flight,” he said.
\nMuncy, who served the United States in both World War II and in Korea, took cell phone video and snapped photos from the front seat of the open-cockpit 1942 Boeing biplane piloted by Dream Flights founder Darryl Fisher.<\/p>\n

The tandem took off from Grimes Municipal Airport in Urbana to celebrate the organization\u2019s 6,000th trip with an American World War II hero on board.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’d rather be flying, too. Mr. Muncy could have told our intrepid reporter the name he is searching for is “Stearman.” Great story, thanks Mick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
