Maj. Dark flew former POW and USAF F-4 Phantom pilot Retired Capt. Ralph Galati in a T-38 Talon during the 51st annual freedom flyer. The 560th Flying Training Squadron hosts the annual Freedom Flyer reunion, a gathering to reunite and honor Vietnam War era aviator POWs. The 3-day event included a “fini-flight” or final flight, which traditionally celebrates a military aviator's final combat mission or transition to retirement, a tradition many Vietnam War era aviator POWs missed.
