101-year-old WWII veteran takes to skies over New Jersey
HILLSBOROUGH, N.J. (PIX11) - It's one heck of a way to spend your 101st birthday.
"I love the view," said Donald Stern, a World War II Army Air Corps veteran.
It's no B-17 Flying Fortress, the bomber Stern served on as a bombardier and navigator in the 1940s, but on board a Cessna Skyhawk, he still got to spend his big day in the sky.
In his time in the Army Air Corps, Stern flew 32 combat missions, the last one coming the day before his 22nd birthday. Just shy of 80 years later, he's at the controls again.
