I saw this story of all places on SVP Sportscenter last night, and I thought it was a very moving story.
Over 50 years ago Col. Roy A. Knight Jr., a US fighter pilot waved goodbye to his 5 year old son @ Dallas Love Field Airport as he left for Vietnam. It was the last time his son would see his father who was shot down over Laos during the war. Recently, Col. Roy A. Knight Jr.'s remains were identified and to be shipped home. His remains were returned to Dallas Love Field Airport on a Southwest plane piloted by Southwest Pilot Bryan Knight.....the same little boy that waved goodbye to his father on the same airstrip 50+ years ago.
