Best wishes to his family.

I donated. He is the definition of a pro-pilot. I'm glad to help him anyway I can. He is truely an inspiration. I encourage anybody who can afford a token, to throw it his way.

Oh my goodnes. What happenned to his wife and son? Is the disease hereditary?

And if I send a check, who do I make it out to?

 

[atldc9]

I'm in for $10.

I just sent the link over to www.baseops.net

Hopefully others will be able to read about this, and be moved enough to want to donate. Bad things should not happen to good people like Capt. Haynes.

Though having never met the man, he is on my shortlist of true aviation professionals I have strived to emulate.

I've donated also.


BTW, when did his son pass? I thought he flew for United, too?

I think his son passed away at least a few years ago in a motorcycle accident. He mentioned it briefly but I didn't want to ask too many questions. It's really sad to hear about this news of his daughter.

I met Capt. Haines at OSH about 1999. A very very nice individual. He had the ~500 people at the FAA pavilion so quiet you could hear a pin drop as he told his story. I met him afterwards. A real class act, and I'm in for $20.

I am in too!

Al is a class act, the heroics are well documented. The best part was when he gave his first interview from his hospital bed, he had his ALPA pin in plain sight.......
