At 84 years old, Lt. Col. Maggie DeSanti still fits in her Army uniform. She also can still pull rank on the younger generation.
Before boarding her Honor Flight in Arizona -- a trip to Washington to visit war memorials organized by a nonprofit group -- DeSanti couldn't resist challenging a TSA officer to a pushup contest.
A video shared by officials with the Arizona chapter of the Honor Flight network shows DeSanti, decked out in her Vietnam War uniform and wearing a full leg brace, on the ground alongside the TSA employee. Onlookers count as they both work to hit 10 pushups.
