Chris Rock’s DreamFlights Honoring Vietnam Veterans
Thanks to an invitation from Nicole Quiring, phlebotomist at Enloe Health, veterans Donald Anderson and Twede Danley took to the skies in a Boeing Stearman, piloted by DreamFlights’ volunteer pilots. The flight marked the fifth annual DreamFlight held in memory of Northgate Aviation co-founder and veteran Christopher J. Rock.
Northgate Aviation, in collaboration with the nonprofit organization DreamFlights, proudly hosted the annual Chris Rock Memorial Dream Flights event at Chico Regional Airport on Monday, May 4.
Alicia Rock, President of Northgate Aviation, shared:
“It’s an honor to do this in recognition of my dad, who served three tours in Vietnam from 1967–1969. We focus on Vietnam veterans who are living shorter lives and facing serious health challenges due to the chemicals used during that war. My dad received care at the Enloe Cancer Center for many years after developing blood cancer from Agent Orange. This event helps bring attention to the extra sacrifices these veterans have made.”
She added, “And they love it! We host a barbecue and make it a special day. Every year, there are miles and miles of smiles.”
Thank you to Nicole for thinking of our veterans, and to Northgate Aviation for hosting this meaningful and important event.
