As a pilot with over 13,000 hours of flight time, Stanley R. Luther knows his way around an airplane. While growing up during the Dust Bowl in the Midwest, Stan knew he belonged exploring the skies and not tilling the ground like his parents and grandparents. After joining the Navy during World War II and attending the University of Idaho, Stan became an Air Force pilot, flying everything from bombers and transport aircraft to fighter jets and reconnaissance planes in Vietnam. After serving as an attache to Madagascar, Stan retired to the Pacific Northwest where he served as a community college professor, flight instructor, and air ambulance pilot. Stan has spent his golden years in the Rogue Valley of Southern Oregon where he enjoys a view of the local airport, and at the age of 96, still finds ways to take to the skies.
