"102-Year-Old WWII Pilot Soars for Charity in Bumpy Sky Adventure"

102-year-old WWII veteran and former RAF pilot, Jack Hemmings, took to the skies in a Spitfire for a 20-minute flight to raise money for a charity he co-founded nearly 80 years ago. The flight, which marked 80 years since the D-Day landings, paid tribute to his late co-founder and raised over 40,000 pounds for Mission Aviation Fellowship. Hemmings, who had never flown a Spitfire before, described the experience as "absolutely delightful" despite the bumpy ride, and was praised by his accompanying pilot for his natural touch in the air.
