___ 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).

 Hello. This is Brad McGaw the son of Steve McGaw Sr. 

 I don’t have acces to the whole Chicago email group. I was wondering if you might be able to put out a group email to the Delta group about his passing and Funeral service info. I am on the group list but for some reason I can’t find an old email with all the emails included. 

 Thank you.
