___ 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).

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest". (Matthew 11:28)
Dean E. Sunde, passed away quietly on Sunday morning, November 8, 2015 in Spokane Valley, WA. Dean was born in rural South Dakota and grew up in the Midwest.

Dean had a distinguished aviation career, flying for the United States Air Force (Captain) as well as the Washington Air National Guard 116th Fighter Interceptor Squadron at Geiger Field. He also had a career as a pilot for Northwest Airlines (35 years) retiring as a Boeing 747 Captain. Dean devoted much of his life to building projects, woodworking, and hobby farming. He enjoyed spending time with family, lending support when needed, and teaching others some of the many skills and lessons he had learned along life's journey. Loved by all who knew him; Dean will be missed. Dean is survived by his wife, Meredith of 55 years; daughters: Susan (Eric) Merrick, Julie (Todd) Ullrich, Tami (Jeffrey) Duty; son David (Susan) Sunde; and five grandchildren.
