U.S. Air Force Capt. Jason Bianchi, an F-15C Eagle pilot from RAF Lakenheath's 493rd Fighter Squadron, organized a "Pilot for a Day" program for children with serious illnesses. The first kid to participate was Jack Driver, who was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia about three years ago and receives bone marrow transplants in an effort to cure the rare auto-immune disorder.
