The Make-A-Wish Foundation teamed up with the crew of the USS Harry S. Truman (CVN-75) to grant Peter, a 16-year-old cancer survivor, his wish to become a Navy pilot for a day.
"Since fourth or fifth grade I wanted to be a naval aviator," said Peter, in a video produced by the U.S. Navy. "We live within twenty miles of Annapolis and so you have the Naval Academy there, everyone is a Navy fan."
He didn't know what to expect when he learned that he was going to be on an aircraft carrier. Little did he know that he would be traveling by air and landing on its deck. Peter got the Navy's V.I.P. treatment and did way more than he could imagine.
