___ 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).

  2. Almost fifty years ago, Randy became my new neighbor and first friend at Delta, and I will miss him tremendously.

  3. Captain Hovey was a wonderful pilot and was one of the first Captains I flew with in New Orleans for Delta Air Lines. I enjoyed his wit and humor. His stories were priceless. God bless him and his family. I’m so thankful and glad we came across each other in this lifetime. He will be missed tremendously.
