Was that at MSP? I live about six miles from the airport and I remember NWA 747 heading for Japan flying right over the house many times. The rumble in the distance getting closer and there it was, a majestic sight. NWA is long gone now, but I still remember that big beautiful bird overhead. It wasn't the objectionable noise like from a 727 rather just a rumble. You were probably one of those pilots flying over my house back then.
We just had a Captain get the water salute in Seattle Wa. We flew Delta A 330 from Amsterdam to Seattle. I will never forget that !!! What a career !
1997 was a passenger on AA flight LAX-SLC when our Captain received the same salute, great cheers rang out in the cabin when it was announced
Good Stuff! May God bless this retiring pilot.
Must be an emotional moment for pilots who are honored in this way.
the celebration.
