___ 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).

This will be just a short note to let the members of the 60th Bum Group know that Captain Jack VanZante passed away last night after a long battle against cancer.  He made his final flight west and will be remembered fondly by those of us who knew him as a friend.  I have no additional information about what arrangements will be made by his family.    Richard Stearns - Captain retired
