Lloyd Ballantyne in the front seat of a WWII training bi-plane.
Lloyd Ballantyne (son of Peter & Angela Ballantyne and grandson of Buck & Connie Ballantyne), recently graduated from high school in San Diego, CA.
For his graduation, one of the paralyzed veterans that Lloyd assists with race cars gave him the gift of this flight.
This plane was originally used to train Navy pilots. The pair flew low over southern California, like those learning during World War II would have.
Lloyd’s grandfather, Buck Ballanytne, earned two Purple Hearts in World War II fighting in the mountains of Italy.
Way to go Lloyd!!
