2015 Freedom Flyer
Retired Col. Ronald E. Byrne (left) speaks with Col. Matthew Isler, 12th Flying Training Wing commander, at the 42nd Freedom Flyer Reunion at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph March 20. The event honors all POWs held captive during the Vietnam War. The tradition began when members of the 560th Flying Training Squadron were given the task to retrain more than 150 POWs returning to flying status. To honor their return, their initial training included a “freedom flight.” The last group of POWs was released from captivity in North Vietnam March 1973.
