It is a milestone that encompasses a lifetime of passion for aviation from the consummate aviator who simply says "lucky me".I have had the honor of knowing the former United Airlines Captain Lacy for many years as well as the privilege of being able to call him a friend. While he is a giant of giants in our incredible industry of aviation with an innumerable amount of awards, accolades, and tributes, that includes being enshrined in the National Aviation Hall of Fame. He also represents that generation of humbleness, kindness, and incredible, off the charts flying talent.A while back, I enjoyed the opportunity to be a guest at his home where we chowed down on a nice lunch before hanging out in one of his aviation-filled rooms to chat a little about his life, his legacy, and how he managed to accumulate over 50,000 piloting hours during his flying career. Here are some highlights from that conversation.If you want the full scoop, I highly recommend going to https://lnkd.in/ee5NMefR and read'Lucky Me' The Life and Flights of Veteran Aviator Clay Lacy.All Things Aviation & Aerospace is also available on my Private Air Media YouTube Channel, Facebook Page, and Linkedin.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnAgvYp8gF4w8WSRdU7Dn4whttps://www.facebook.com/privateairmediagrouphttps://www.linkedin.com/in/vincentmickens-privateairmediagroup-allthingsaviationandaerospace/
