___ 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 PCN Flight 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).

Albert Calderon, 79, of Gilbert, Arizona, passed away peacefully on October 6, 2025. Born January 18, 1946, in Santa Paula, California, Albert was a proud U.S. Marine Corps fighter pilot who completed Top Gun and later flew commercially for Northwest Airlines. He was the first in his family to graduate college and served his country with distinction, retiring as a decorated LT. Colonel. Albert and his wife Cecilia shared 57 years of marriage, moving across the country and abroad during his service. Known for his joyful spirit and magnetic warmth, Albert had a gift for turning any gathering into a celebration and was never happier than when surrounded by family and friends.
