By General Aviation News Staff · November 27, 2024 · 4 Comments

Ron Cox submitted this photo and note: “My last flight prior to retirement. My son, Will, who flies for a different airline, surprised me by booking the Airbus jumpseat, over and back, to Honolulu!

    A son proud of his father and a father proud of his son. It just doesn’t get better than that. Congratulations to both of you!

      Sorry, mark we’re an Auburn family! It’s an Atlanta Braves hat. Bama has a little handle on top of their “A”
      Thanks for the nice comment, though.
