Father’s Day Final Flight – Capt Tom Lake & Son
Eric
"I had the honor of
flying with my dad on his final flight after being an airline pilot for 34
years! I was fortunate enough to spend six of those years working and flying
with him at the same company, and in that time, we’ve flown over 500 hours
together on two different airplanes. It’s just very special to say that he flew
with me on my first flight ever at Delta and I flew with him on his last.
It would take pages and
pages to thank every single person that showed support and was there to be a
part of this special moment for my dad. We are very fortunate to have such
wonderful people surrounding us, from our family and friends to the people we
get to work with on a daily basis.
I’ve been fortunate
enough to be a Delta kid since I was 4 years old, and it's an even greater
honor to pay that back in working for them for another 27+ years. Truly an
airline family of great people. I have some gigantic shoes to fill, as my dad
made such an impact and helped train hundreds of pilots that are out there
flying now. If I can do even half of what he did, then I know I’m doing
something right. Love you, Dad!" - @erik_cleared_for_takeoff, Delta First
Officer
Congratulations on your
retirement, Tom! Happy Father's Day to all the incredible dads in the sky and
on the ground.
