___ PCN FLIGHT WEST is sponsored by the Pilot Communication Network and is a service of the PCN provided for the Delta Pilot Retired family of pilot groups. Flight West was started and is maintained to accomplish two main goals. After we become aware of a colleague who has Flown West, 1. We aim to produce a “timely” notice sent to our community that allows for support and interaction from our group toward the grieving family of our friend and colleague. 2. Then, we aim to “archive” that notice on our Flown West Blogspot as a lasting accessible place of Dignity and Honor of our colleague for family legacy and posterity. Contributor contact info is generally removed before posting (unless requested otherwise).

WA/DL Capt. Don F. Knechtges

~ IN MEMORY ~

WA/DL Capt. Don Knechtges

June 7, 1935 - February 8, 2014

 

Belated notification with the passing of WA/DL Captain Donald Francis Knechtges, age 78.  I have limited information but from what I could find, Don was born/raised in Montana and after high school attended Montana State University on a football scholarship.  Don & Jacquelyn were married in June of 1955 while he was still in college.  Don was a USAF veteran.  He joined Western Airlines 03-21-1966 and retired with Delta Air Lines with 25+ years of service, and was based MSP/SLC.  Captain Knechtges is survived by his wife Jacquelyn ‘Jackie’ Smith Knechtges.  I believe the Knechtges had previously lived in Lewistown MT but more recently resided at  

36 Birch Haven Drive, Sagle  ID 83860-8803. 

If anyone has additional information/corrections to share, please let us know and we will update our blogspot at


 
Thank you,
