___ 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).

We have belated and very sad news to share…..from friends and colleagues we are just now hearing that Captain Carl Bean passed October 7, 2020.  Carl joined Northeast Airlines 01-17-1966 and retired with Delta Air Lines, based Atlanta.  “Carl served many years as a Captain for Delta flying international and domestic flights. He also was a flight instructor on the 767/757 program.”  We have also just learned that Carl’s wife Karen passed in December 2021 due to heart failure.  Karen began her flying career with Northeast Airlines, Flight Attendant class 11/08/1968.  We also learned that Karen was not only preceded in death by her husband Carl but also by their daughter Kimberly (1980-2021).  We were unable to find online obituaries for Karen and Kimberly but Carl’s information is noted below.

If anyone has more information to share, we would appreciate hearing from you as all updates and/or corrections are always welcome.

 

Thank you,

~ Carol for the PCN

  1. Carl was my father. He left four of us when we were very young. All under the age of 7. He never looked back at us and carried on his life with Karen and Kimberly. He abandoned us. I don’t know why. But he is not the great man you all thought he was. He had 6 siblings that he also never stayed in touch with. Very sad. I loved him because he was my father and I wanted a relationship with him but he was never a dad to us. He left me when I was 6 and I only heard from him very few times in my life.
