___ 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).

Friends write:  “We have lost one of the WESTERN "GOOD GUYS" - BUDD KELLY.  Budd passed away Tuesday, December 17, 2019.  He was an amazing pilot and truly one of the good guys. He loved his family, friends and Western. He will be sorely missed. Photo: Budd's retirement flight on the DAL L-1011 with Ann Flaskamp Herring and Budd's son, Scott, now a UAL Captain. “
