U.S. Air Force Maj. Jason Dark, (right) 560th Flying Training Squadron, instructor pilot, assists retired Capt. Ralph Galati with final checks and procedures, during the 51st annual Freedom Flyer Mar. 21, 2024, Joint Base San Antonio Randolph. Galati, a former F-4 Phantom pilot, was shot down over North Vietnam in 1972 and was a POW for 14 months. 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.
