Ayden Frail, 5, of San Antonio, sits in the cockpit of a Army Reserve UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter at Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 169th Aviation Regiment at Simmons Army Airfield at Fort Bragg, , Sept. 18, 2013. Ayden was diagnosed with neuroblastoma last year on Thanksgiving Day. He visited the unit because he "really likes helicopters." His uncle, Chief Warrant Officer 5 Tom Baker, a pilot and a USARC safety officer, arranged the visit for Ayden. ( Army photo by Timothy L.
