It was an unforgettable moment as U.S. Army veteran Carl May climbed back in the pilot's seat for his 100th birthday.
World War II Army veteran Carl May celebrated his 100th birthday by climbing back in the pilot's seat.
Once May returned home from the Army, he started a life with his wife that blossomed into 13 children, 31 grandchildren, and 40 great grandchildren. They were married for 65 years before her passing. Still, May lives a self-sufficient life, drives every day, and works on crafting magnificent bowls in his cellar.
"He's just got a great attitude about life," said May's son, Richard. "He goes to church every day, too, by the way. Probably prays for all of us.""Some of the relatives sent him up on a plane five years ago," he mentioned. "Being 100... I think he's trying to, maybe, he wants to set an example for the family.""My family comes from a long line of people and he is the one that inspires me the most," said great grandson AJ Perez.
