| Captain Buzz Flett |
My good friend, United Airlines Captain Duncan Flett, known throughout the world as the Exotic Guy, is a second generation airline pilot. His father, Captain Buzz Flett, acquired his worldliness flying C-47's in North Africa during World War II. After the war he landed a job at Northeast Airlines, and never looked back. . . Northeast merged with Delta Air Lines in 1972, and that is where he eventually retired. Not a bad career.
The Delta Flight Museum is currently undergoing a massive renovation. It is scheduled to reopen sometime this summer. Part of the renovation is a new front courtyard. In December the museum announced that bricks for the courtyard were available for purchase; part of a fundraising campaign.
It is my pleasure to announce that when the museum reopens, there will be a 4" X 8" brick in the new courtyard with the following engraving:
IN MEMORY OF
CAPTAIN BUZZ FLETT

ReplyDeleteWow! What a thoughtful gift! I know how much Duncan loved and admired his father. What a great way to pay tribute to him. I'm sure much of Duncan's awesomeness comes from his dad!
