There is photo of the F/O with what looks like severe burns on his face. It was really smoke ashes, it basically washed off. I saw him Wednesday, his face had no signs of burns, nor did any of his exposed skin. We are hoping for his speedy recovery and I told his father he has a job waiting for him when he is ready to come back.

Very classy. I think we all appreciate that.

Lonnie 'headed west' today in his native southwestern Ohio. The USA Jet family demonstrated great class and compassion as the company flew in 50+(?) crew members, staff etc to celebrate his life with Lonnie's wife, children and friends. Lonnie's last flight was aboard a Piper J-3 Cub.

 

[727C47]

Rest in peace brother, was that a Stewart Flying Service J-3?

 

[ABUSED PILOT]

What usajet did today to honor Lonnie was priceless. The support and respect Usajet has shown Lonnie's family is not written in any ethics or PR class at Harvard Business School. Rest in Peace my friend Lonnie.

Agreed, I'm so proud to be part of USA Jet.

On-demand cargo is a tough job and everyone knows that, but the people I work with are my best friends and family.

True friends and family are all that really matter in life.

Blue skies always

 

[SWA/FO]

Lots of good folks at USA Jet.. Very hard working bunch of people that "make it work".

Update on F/O

I talked to the F/O’s brother today and the F/O is doing much better. He is conscious, he can talk, he can write messages, and he has 90% movement of his body. He has memory from before the accident. He is making rational decisions. He asked about the Captain. He still has some lung problems from all of the smoke inhalation, but is not on a breathing tube or O2 right now. It sounds like a full recovery may be in store for him. This is truly good news.

 

[Captain Morgan]

That's outstanding YIP. I'm praying for a speedy recovery for him.

 

[clr4theapch]

Bravo... God Speed to this young man.. prayers are with him for a full recovery..

Only an AME/OK City can answer those questions, he is suppposed to be released from the hosp this week.

 

[landlover]
