Hangar Flying - HL 250 (4)

Subject: TriStar Experience Flyer.docx

Delta Folks:
 Dave Mattingly requested that I send you this attachment about the L-1011.
Dave will be one of the pilots flying the last flight from Tucson
International Airport to Kansas City. Any of you that flew the L-1011 may
want to become a part of Tri Star history by donating to this project. It's
pretty cool that the aircraft will be used as the platform to train the next
generation of aviators.
