A Note from Captain Denny Flanagan

Matthew Klint Posted onSeptember 11, 2014December 6, 2016 Leave a Comment

Captain Denny Flanagan sent me the following note this morning —

My Flying Friends,
 
It’s early morning on September 11th in Shanksville Pennsylvania. I am here with over 50 United crew members to honor the memory of the Pilots, Flight Attendants and Customers of United Flight 93. It has been 13 years since that terrible day and time makes us forget, but we should not. When you hear the Nation[al] Park Ranger tell the story of the Flight 93 coming in at a steep angle and making a 30 foot deep crater it just sends shivers up my spine.
 
Tonight I had dinner with the county coroner which mostly dealt with car accidents. Wally Miller spent from September 11th to February 12th looking for body parts in which he only recovered 2%.
 
In the last 13 years we have honored the memory and love of flying of Capt. Jason Dahl through a scholarship to financially help young men and women seeking an aviation career. This past June we awarded 18 scholarships and each year our program continues to grow. We can use your help in our Just A Buck program. Go to dahlfund.org and click the Donate Button. Please make at least a minimum donation of $1 each month.
 
PayPal caught up with me and is not allowing my aircraft raffles across state lines any longer. Now I just will be using the “Just A Buck”.
 
Today or tomorrow look at our Facebook page for photos of the Memorial Service.
 
We greatly need and appreciate your support. 
 
Capt. Denny Flanagan
 
I wrote last year that in one sense, we do need to forget about 9/11, but in forgetting the horror of that day, we can be heartened by the goodness that also came from that day, including from the crew and passengers of UA93.
