Did you know that America's oldest veteran en route to D.C. on Honor Flight?
I've seen a few discussions about the oldest veteran on RallyPoint, but here is one that is 110 years old heading to Washington D.C.
110-year-old Frank Levingston experienced quite the scene at New Orleans International Airport Sunday morning.
Before his flight to Washington D.C., a group sent him off with a rendition of "God Bless America".
Check out the pictures and video! Awesome!

America's oldest veteran, 110 year old Frank Levingston was sent off in style as he departs for the trip of a lifetime.
Levingston will fly from New Orleans to Washington, D.C., Sunday morning as a part of an Honor Flight.
Before leaving for the crescent city, Levingston was celebrated in Lake Charles by the VFW Post 2130.
"I'm here today to issue a proclamation in his honor, which makes today Frank Levingston Day in honor of his 110th Birthday," said Mayor Randy Roach.
Roach also gave Mr. Levingston the task of giving President Barack Obama a key to the city of Lake Charles.
He also was honored with a challenge coin from the sheriff's office.
Sheriff Tony Mancuso called Levingston an American hero.
