Just after take off from Frankfurt  the pilot cam on and introduced himswef and told us it was his final flight.. he was retirng after many, many years of flying.. <\/p>\n

Just before we landed in DC he came on again and gave a sad-sweet thank you to all the passengers and crew..  and reflected on how it felt to be landing a big plane for probably his last time..<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

they said they gave him a fire hose salute on the ground before we landed.. but I didn get to see that<\/p>\n

the  landing was flawless<\/p>\n
