___ 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).

PAL/RW/NWA Capt. Perry T. Dove

 

~ IN MEMORY ~

PAL/RW/NWA Capt. Perry T. Dove

April 8, 1931 ~ July ?, 2021

 

As noted in the Oct.-Nov. issue of The Air Line Pilot magazine’s In Memoriam column….the passing of retired Northwest pilot Captain PERRY T. DOVE.  I believe this to be Captain Perry Taylor Dove, born in Missouri April 8, 1931.  Captain Dove joined Pacific Airlines 03-02-1960 and would have made the various mergers retiring with Northwest Airlines.  His most recent address is listed in whitepages as 59 Whitecap St., Pismo Beach, CA 93449.

I was unable to find an obituary online…..if anyone has more information, we would appreciate hearing from you.

Thank you,

~ Carol for the PCN

    Carol, we were notified of Dove's passing by his niece. Our records show that he was originally hired as a pilot for Flying Tigers on 5/2/1955, probably going on to Pacific during one of the many furloughs during those years. His niece is sending us some Tiger memorabilia that the family apparently has. Contact me at president@flyingtigerline.org and I'll hook the two of you up if I can.

    He was my mothers uncle. He was from Hannibal Mo, a pilot in the service and later owned a private plane and lived in a suburb in CA known as an airplane community. He had 4 sisters one being my grandmother. Marjorie (Dove) Pepper.

    P.T. Dove Always with a squinty smile, he would walk up and share time. I met Perry after he and wife Fran retired to their large home on the shores of Trinity Lake. The home was one of a dozen or so with a hangar underneath served by the taxiway of the Strip (O86). Always helpful with the airport and eager to have lunch with friends. Perry and Fran (spoke with nice TX accent) did not have children and while short in stature Perry loved all things "big". His Navion was claimed to have a mother that was a tank, his CJ Jeep a V8, his Ford Diesel Crew Cab Pickup, his Chevy SSR Pickup and his 50's Olds Hotrod with the 455 olds.
    I'll always remember Perry and his friendly ways.

    I worked for Trinity County for many years which duties included Airport (5 of them) management and operations.
