    A World War II pilot Harry Moyer says there's no better place to be on Veterans Day than in the sky. Moyer still flies every week, including on the day he turned 100 years old in October. He may be the oldest active pilot in the world.

    Congratulations on turning 100 years old and Happy Veterans Day Mr. Moyer! :usa:
