Beginning #HFC130 with Honor Flight Magic.

Vietnam Veteran John Todd knew his daughter would be his Guardian today. What he didn't know is that his son, Brian, is our @SouthwestAir First Officer on this morning's outbound flight from @fly2midway to @Dulles_Airport!

100-year-old Patrick Lloyd says he spent his time during #WWII at #PearlHarbor, playing tenor saxophone in a Navy band. His records, however, indicate only that he was a "steward first class" with a cryptic notation about his service in a “recreation” program.
