Boston Executive FBO, a service provider at Norwood Memorial Airport in Massachusetts, helped give some local U.S. service member veterans a day they will never forget earlier this month when it hosted Dream Flights, an organization dedicated to honoring veterans through flight experiences.
The group brought a vintage Stearman biplane to the airport—the tandem, open-cockpit aircraft was a common military flight trainer during WWII—and gave Air Force, Navy, and Army veterans from the Korean and Vietnam War eras flights over the area. For the former aviators, the opportunity brought back memories, with one stating, “Every time I get near an airplane I get excited!” Also, there were additional airplanes and helicopters on display in the FBO’s hangar during the event.
Boston Executive’s fuel provider AEG Fuels was a co-sponsor of the event, providing fuel for the flights. In addition, AEG also covered a day-long barbeque and frozen treats for the veterans—residents of nearby assisted-living facilities—and their families.

New developments at FBOs including regulations and noise issues; legal disputes; openings, acquisitions and mergers.
