Very cool indeed!

If you look at the routing of the aircraft (3411) the past few days it couldn't have been cheap. Positoned to DFW on Monday from LAX. Yesterday (Tuesday) it operated DFW-LAX-KOA. As of now it is currently on the ground in LAX having just operated KOALAX. It's scheduled to operate LAXDFW next which is presumably the fini flight.

Keith is an awesome guy, and I couldn't be happier for him. What a great way to go out!

Yeah look up the pilot rotation for it.. pretty interesting! Is he a management guy or something or just big pimpin'? Seems like he wrote a book too if you google his name.

I just can’t help but feel bad for the guy. If he had just gotten to stay two more years to age 67, he would have been able to afford to charter an A350.

As someone else mentioned, Keith is a great guy and a pleasure to fly with. Talk about going out in style!

Dude was a class act when I had the pleasure of chatting with him. I read his book as a young kid and is part of the what inspired me to fly F-16s. Vipers in the Storm.

I'm not certain, but I think he was either against or neutral on age 67.

This is a much better representation of senior, Delta pilots than some other things in the news. Hopefully he had a great time with the people he loves.
