When Tampa-based pilot Ken Hewes heard that a Vietnam and Korean War veteran and former flight engineer from Fort White had a wish to fly one more time as he battles cancer, Hewes prepped his plane and flew right to McAlpin to grant that wish.
Over the weekend, Victoria Farrar of Fort White posted on a local Facebook group that her father-in-law Mike Farrar has terminal cancer and a dying wish to fly again. My father in law is a 78-year-old Combat Air Force Veteran who has terminal cancer, she wrote. He has lost 100 lbs and is losing his battle with cancer. He is not only an Air Force Veteran, but was also a pilot. He used to fly his wife of 58 years, and children to the Bahamas and his wife on romantic getaways. Unfortunately those days are far behind him, and before he passes we would like to give him one last look at the world from the sky above.
