Very interesting story of an Amishman who became a TWA captain. Died in TWA 800 while riding in the back. Very interesting.
Among the straw hats hung in the Amish meeting entryway were the hats of TWA pilots who returned to celebrate their colleague Gideon Millers life.
TWA later sent two large vans back to Lancaster Pa. to take the Amish to the TWA JFK hanger, and served lunch aboard a 747 that Gid had flown. One of the TWA chief pilots seated some of the plain folk in the pilot seat where Gideon had worked, a very somber event.
A very moving story.
