Back around 1980 or '81, when I was about eight years old and my dad was a fairly senior Miami-based DC-9 F/O, he took me on a short MIA-BUF overnight trip. About ten minutes after liftoff, Captain Mel Keene had the senior F/A bring me up to the cockpit, and I rode all the way to the descent through 180 in the jumpseat.
Just being the son of an ATP had a strong influence on the path my life has taken...but that night jumpseat ride to Buffalo, N.Y. crystalized my desire to fly more than just about anything else. I would really like to personally thank the man that made it possible.
Is there anybody out there who knows where Capt. Mel Keene is now, and how I might get in touch with him? I would really appreciate it.
