560th Flying Training Squadron hosts ‘Pilot For a Day’

By Jonathan Mallard 502nd Air Base Wing Public Affairs

With contagious enthusiasm, Michael "Mikey" Deigh was a "pilot for a day."

Mikey came to the 560th Flying Training Squadron at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph to participate in the program Jan 13, 2023. He toured the base as he learned about becoming a pilot, sat in various aircraft, and piloted a flight simulator.

The 560th Flying Training Squadron’s “Pilot for a Day” supports children with lifelong disabilities and serious illnesses, providing them a once-in-a-lifetime experience in the life of a U.S. Air Force pilot.

Deigh spent the day with the 560th Flying Training Squadron, touring the aircraft and visiting units in the squadron.
