Guy Prisco, 93, a resident of Covenant Living at the Holmstad in Batavia, gives a “thumbs up” sign as he prepares to take off for a Dream Flight at the DuPage Airport in West Chicago on Saturday, July 29, 2023. The plane is a 1942 open cockpit Boeing Stearman, the same airplane used to train military aviators in the 1940s. The flights were courtesy of Ageless Aviation Dreams Foundation, a non-profit organization to honor U.S. military veterans living in long-term care facilities. Prisco was a First Lieutenant with the Army Corps of Engineers in the 1950s.
