Today my dad had his first flight on the Boeing 777. You might remember his last flight on the MD80... after weeks of studying, training and simulator flying, Captain William Cox Jr is back in the air! With his passport ready to go, he will be based out of LA and flying to Miami, London, Tokyo, and Shanghai! We are so proud of my dad who, without a military background, worked his way up from single engine flight instructor (how he met my mom) to commuter pilot for a company which no longer exists, to co-pilot on MD80 at American Airlines, to captain, and now captain on the Triple Seven!! If I know anything about believing in yourself and pursuing dreams on a path not commonly taken, it's from him. Now if only I could sneak into his kit bag and go with him!
