CAPTAIN MICHAEL ANDERSON SWEAT
Delta Airlines
Captain Michael Anderson Sweat, 54, —nickname
Maverick / Mav— flew his homegoing flight West on Thursday, January 16, 2025. A
highly respected and accomplished aviator, Mike began Flight Training at 2weeks
old in his Dad’s J-3 Cub and graduated as international Captain on Delta’s
Airbus A-350. Hired in 1998 (DOE 07-09-1998), Mike flew 26 years with Delta
Airlines, logging more than 20,000 hours across the world in the skies he loved
and with valued colleagues.
In 1998, Captain Mike found his co-pilot for life
in his Beloved Wife Kristie Sims Sweat and his co-pilots cherished Sons Zachary
Anderson Sweat and Alex Michael Sweat and Doodle Dog Jasper. Both sons are now
earning their wings.
Mike graduated Brookwood High School and is a
proud graduate of Georgia Tech as is wife Kristie. Mike ran The Disney Marathon
and enjoyed taking his Bride and Boys on cross-country, out-of-country, and
spur-of-the-moment luncheons in their Cirrus SR22. He was a beloved, loyal
friend, always ready to help or share a joke.
