Hangar Heroes | Jules Bernard
When Jules Bernard was 13 years old his brother paid $1.50 for a ride in a Waco Model 10 Biplane. Â The experience caused Jules to launch a passionate career as an aircraft mechanic. Â He served in WWII and during his career worked on hundreds of different types of aircraft.
Just before his 94th birthday, Jules was able to take a ride in a fully-restored Waco Model 10 airplane at Sky High Air Tours in Sevierville, Tenn. Â The experience made him feel 13 again.
