In collaboration with Make-A-Wish, the 125th Fighter Wing fulfilled the wish of Easton, 10, to become a fighter pilot for the day at the Jacksonville Air National Guard Base, Florida Thursday.

The day included a swear-in ceremony, touring the flight line to watch jets takeoff, sitting inside an F-15 cockpit, and touring the fire department and air traffic control tower at Jacksonville International Airport.

Easton wore a custom-made flight suit as an honorary “eagle driver” and was given the aviator call sign “Vibin.”
