Farmdale teen becomes Pilot for a Day

U.S. Navy Lt. Benjamin Sacramento, commander of Navy Operations Support Center Youngstown (NOSC), shows 14-year-old Jacob Spithaler how to render a Navy salute here, Aug. 24, 2016. Spithaler was the 64th honoree of the 910th Airlift Wing’s Pilot for a Day Program in which children with chronic or life-threatening illnesses are welcomed to the station, commissioned as honorary second lieutenants and treated to a day of fun military themed activities. Members of Sacramento’s staff welcomed Spithaler to the NOSC with a piping aboard ceremony. (U.S. Air Force photo/Eric White)
