Flight Attendants Flown West - Angels in the Sky
Pat Bliss said it best when she wrote a poem for the Tiger crew members, but here it takes a special, meaningful thought for our Flight Attendants who have flown west.
I'll Remember You, I look up to the clouds and see your smiling face,
I remember you so well and all your flying grace.
In all our days of Tiger flights, we circled the world and saw its sights.
God bless your gentle folded wings, I will always remember these treasured things.
