___ 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).

Michael Scott Loehndorf

Arcadia IN

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Michael Scott Loehndorf on February 25, 2026, at the age of 74. Born on January 29, 1952, to Vern and Marian (Longley) Loehndorf, Michael lived a life filled with adventure, laughter, and love.

 

He was a dedicated commercial pilot for Delta Airlines, logging over 68 million miles throughout his esteemed career. Even after retiring in 2017, Michael couldn't stay away from the skies and continued to fly.

 

Family was everything to Michael. He cherished every moment spent with his grandchildren, earning the affectionate title of "Bacca." Whether they were battling it out in board games or sharing jokes, Michael was known as the heavyweight champion of fun in their eyes. His generosity, loyalty, and kindness made him a beloved figure to friends and family alike, and let's not forget he knew a little bit about everything, often being referred to as a walking Google search!

 

He is survived by his daughter, Amy (Ben) Eades; his son, Scott Loehndorf; his siblings, Steve (Teresa) Loehndorf, Gary (Silvana) Loehndorf, Kris (Gary) Hazelton, and Tracy (Jon) Fessler; and his three grandchildren, Emma, Taya, and Matthias. Michael was preceded in death by his loving wife, *Frankie (Grider) Loehndorf, and his parents.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Bozell Funeral Homes and Crematory, Brown Butz Diedring Chapel.
