___ 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).

Captain Albert Myron Davis, 86, departed this life on Oct 7, 2019 at his home in Springfield, MO. He was born Aug 6, 1933 in Boardman, OH to Myron & Violet (Thornquest) Davis.

Al graduated from Boardman High where he had been a member of the HiY Honor Roll and Rifle Team all 4 years. He won the NRA Sharpshooter Championship his senior year. He attended college 2 years then enlisted in the US Air Force. While in pilot training he was selected Aviation Cadet of the Month & graduated at the top of his class. During the Korean War he was an Instructor Pilot for the T-33, B25, and T-29 bombers and during the Vietnam was a Senior Navigator (Pilot) for the KC 97 Aerial Refueling plane. During his 17 years in the US Air Force and II Nat’l Guard he was commissioned Captain status. He was contacted by North Central Airlines (now Delta) and asked to fly for them which he did for 22 years. During those years he was honored to receive “Crew of the Year” Award in 1967.

In Feb 1950 Al married Marcia Mann of Seville, OH. They had 3 children, Gregory, Mark and Marcia Anne. Gregory passed away at the age 9.
