This Delta flight was piloted by a mother and daughter flight crew. Pretty inspiring.

A Mom and Daughter flying team. I hope they announce that fact to the boarding passengers.

The Mom could have fun with the passengers when they level out at 41,000 feet by coming on the intercom and telling the passengers they can get up and move around, and then scream at her Daughter "NO MORE WIRE HANGERS", who could yell as they put the plane into a quick steep, but temporary, dive.

What fun the could have.

(the mother, Wendy) Used to, anyhow, when I worked at DAL. Really nice person, great to see that she gets to fly with her own daughter.

I was REALLY sorry when Virgin Atlantic and their route to DCA disappeared. That flight was a staple for me.

Actually, the old NWA buildings in the 'burbs, not the airport itself.

The designation for Love Field is DAL, where the main airport for Dallas is DFW, hence my confusion.
