111-year-old Texan, the oldest living U.S. veteran, takes his first trip on a private jet
After more than 111 years of living, the nation's oldest veteran was treated to an unexpected first: a trip on a private jet.
On Saturday, Austin's Richard Overton was flown to Washington, D.C., for a tour of the National Museum of African American History and Culture.
The trip was made possible by billionaire Austin businessman and philanthropist Robert F. Smith. On Friday, Smith spent a couple of hours visiting Overton, believed to be the oldest man in America, at Overton's home. Overton mentioned that one day, he'd like to visit the museum, to which Smith donated $20 million.
