My dad has been an airline pilot for 33 years. He will depart San Diego for Seattle in a few hours on what will be the final flight of his career. I just boarded a plane headed to San Diego so I can surprise him there to join him on the last leg of his journey to retirement.

What a wonderful thing for you to celebrate with your dad. Will mean the world to him.

My mom and I did this for my dad on his last flight too and it was so emotional and great! (He was a helicopter pilot in Vietnam turned airline captain) How wonderful that you can join him and what a fantastic surprise!!! ENJOY!!!!! Post a pic of you two together at the end!!!

My dad was a dentist, I got to be his last patient.

It was terrifying as he had nothing to lose.

Edit: this is cool though
