Tuskegee Airman Floyd Collins to take special flight to honor service

A dream will come true for a man who served his country with honor.

94-year-old Tuskegee Airman Floyd Collins will go on one last flight this Thursday in Gaithersburg.

Collins was originally scheduled to fly on Monday, however, weather forced his flight to be re-scheduled.

Collins first joined the Tuskegee Airmen when he was 18-years-old.

He says he is looking forward to the flight Thursday and says he wouldn’t mind taking over the controls and flying the plane himself!
