Retired U.S. Army General Jerry L. Neff, a 2024 Veterans Hall of Fame inductee and decorated military and community leader, will fulfill a lifelong dream on May 22, 2025, by taking flight in the P-51 Mustang “Crazy Horse.”
The flight is made possible through the Vet’s Wish, an initiative of Covenant Care, in collaboration with Stallion 51 in Kissimmee, Florida.
A decorated officer with 39 years of military service, General Neff is a lifelong aviation enthusiast.
As part of the Vet’s Wish experience, he will not only fly in the World War II-era aircraft but will also take the controls under the supervision of a Stallion 51 pilot.
“We believe every veteran who served our country deserves to be honored — not just for what they did, but for who they are,” said Aaron West, vice president of the Covenant Care Foundation.
The Vet’s Wish program is dedicated to honoring the service and sacrifice of military veterans by creating memorable experiences for them and their families.
Previous wishes include trips to see the Blue Angels, visiting former military friends, and returning to a place with historical and personal significance.
Civic and service organizations can nominate a veteran by visiting MyWish.org/About-Vets-Wish.
Wishes are funded by a network of community donors and fulfilled by the Covenant Care Foundation. Officials say that 100% of donations are used to make wishes come true and are tax deductible.
