Cancer survivor ready to soar
1st Lt. Charles Boynton is all smiles after beating testicular cancer and restarting the Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training Program recently at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas. Boynton was diagnosed in July 2018 and later underwent a bilateral radical inguinal orchiectomy to remove the cancer and both testicles, all while his Air Force career was in question. A medical waiver was approved in late September 2020, and Boynton was allowed re-enter pilot training and continue pursuing his dream. (U.S. Air Force photo by 1st Lt. Megan Morrissey)
