It was a memorable last flight for Meadville native, Tim Jesteadt.

He flew up from Virginia Beach where he is currently stationed in the Navy.

He just got back from a nine month deployment in the Red Sea. He will soon be moving to Texas to become an instructor after eight years serving.


Before he left, he wanted one last flight in a F-A18 F Super Hornet, the jet his has been flying for the past three years.

He learned to fly in Erie at North Coast Air, so Monday's flight had extra meaning as his family and friends gathered to watch him make a trip home.
