Subject: Capt Jim Hart's retirement

Hello Mark,  Delta Captain Jim Hart a new hire classmate of ours (11-10-78) just retired after 37 years with Delta Air Lines.  Jim and I have been good friends since our hiring.  At one time we even owned an Aeronca Champ together.  My wife and I were honored (and very lucky) to be on his retirement flight on Friday which was a 777 from LAX to ATL.  I thought he told me he was number 28 on the seniority list.  At the gate in ATL the fire trucks sprayed the plane down as he taxied in for the last time.  Then the Chief Pilot there had a very nice ceremony honoring Jim and his retirement.  Former ORD pilots Wayne Thronson and John Vancy were also there for the ceremony.  Just thought I'd pass this on to you.  That could have been us if Delta management hadn't been so inept.   Here are some pictures, David W. Skjerven



Capt. Jim Hart and Family
