Great article! I hope you gave a huge thank you to everyone you met for not only keeping the Braves flying, but also all they do to make sure that all of us fly safely and in style everyday!

Your story reminded me of when my grandfather, W. Bayard Grant, gave me a tour or two of the Delta facilities as a kid. He was a long time (thirty some years from 195x-198x) Delta engineer. I still get nostalgic every time I taxi past the Fly Delta Jets sign.

Are there any tours like yours available to us civilians? I’d love to host my grandfather on a tour of what’s happening at Delta TechOps today!
