I have been flying for Cathay Pacific Airways for nearly 30 years, after an 81⁄2-year career in the RCAF post ����91���︣�����߹ۿ�’s. Last July, I was in command of a flight of one of our aircraft from Hong Kong to her final resting place in the Arizona desert. This flight was a special event for me as, almost 25 years ago to the day, I was part of the crew that picked up this aircraft, then brand new, from the Airbus factory in Toulouse, France. To have picked up and then retired the same aircraft 25 years apart is a rare feat unlikely to have been accomplished by any pilot at a major airline. I am also fortunate to have been kept busy flying throughout the worst crisis in civil aviation history.
