___ 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).

  1. Thank you for the nice memory post in Honor of my Uncle (my mom's brother). He loved his job and did it honestly and represented the airline's in high standards.

  2. Joe is survived by his wife of 61 years, Sue, and son Travis. He was preceded in death by his son Ryan in 1990. Joe loved his family, mini-ranch and his Cessna 182. The family had many adventures in that airplane. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. He always had a big smile on his face.
