Gordy Newstrom, who founded Mesaba Airlines in 1944, passed away Sunday at age 93.
Gordy was a wonderful man and a fantastic pilot. He was a flight instructor into his 80s and didn't stop flying until 2000. He was devoted to his family, his country and his company.
"Gordy’s passion for his family and the airline he created will be his legacy – he will be remembered as a man of intellect, humor and compassion." -- Mesaba president J.S.
Gee, John... Too bad you will never be accused of being a man of intellect, humor, and compassion. In fact, you are quite the opposite.
