CEO-on-the-go! ✈️🇺🇸
NHCA President and CEO Jalene Carpenter is checking in from Duncan Aviation, where we are excited to partner with @DreamFlightsOrg to host a special day of flights honoring veterans living in Nebraska nursing homes and assisted living communities! 💙
As we celebrate the 250th birthday of the greatest country in history - let’s not forget what our veterans have done for us. The sacrifices these brave men and women have made are a key piece to the winning formula of democracy and freedom.
Huge thank you to @DreamFlightsOrg, @DuncanAviation, and @NNFANALA for giving the veterans a flight to remember! 🇺🇸🛩️

Memorial Day belongs to the ones who never came home — and to the families who have carried that loss ever since. We are grateful. We remember. We will never take it for granted.— The Dream Flights Family

Tour schedule below. 📷#Veterans #Texas #Aviation #DreamFlights Follow along for stories, photos, and moments from the veterans we’re honored to serve.
Grover Trytten, a 104-year-old World War II veteran from Georgetown, took a Dream Flights ride in a restored Boeing-Stearman biplane. https://t.co/XgbcdYpbao
At age 104, Grover Trytten of Georgetown doesn't want to fly in commercial airplanes. The World War II veteran said he feels stuck when placed in an aisle seat or trapped in a window seat because the windows don't open.
But when he flew in the open cockpit of a World War II biplane this week, he said he smiled the whole time.
