Garrett Beckwith, 5, turns and smiles from the cockpit of a C-21 aircraft Aug. 17 during his special day as “Pilot for the Day” at the North Dakota Air National Guard, Fargo, N.D. Garrett was diagnosed Feb. 27 with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and began chemotherapy that day. Doctors say he will have to undergo chemotherapy treatments for another three years. The Pilot for a Day program honors a child who is fighting or has overcome a life-threatening illness or condition, and gives them the opportunity to a special tour as an honorary brigadier general for the unit.
