Aunt Benét: Retire? Nope! #IRE

…and just like that, my blue check mark is gone.

Happy #MayThe4thBeWithYou !!

Here’s wishing you ALL a very happy #maythe4th ! I was 14 when the first movie came out. How much do I love #StarWars? Here’s my story for @thepointsguy about my voyage at @waltdisneyworld’s Star Wars Hotel (RIP). thepointsguy.com/news/star-wars…

@Heather_Poole @LuxeTiffany What @LuxeTiffany said!! ✈️❤️

@LuxeTiffany Thank you. Means a lot, coming from you 💕

I follow the social media policy. That’s why I’m still working as a flight attendant. Maybe that travel blogger who wrote about me should read the policy and review my content again. I mean how can one describe my pretty pics as “negative”. Of course he’s making money writing about me 🙄

Where is everyone? @BWI_Airport is empty. There was NO line at Einstein Bagels. It’s kinda eerie here… #travel #letsgo #nicar26

@SashasHandler Oh yes. But I have @USAA #insurance and they’ve been great. Already have a rental car for 50 days, got reimbursed for stuff in the car that burned and hope to get $$ to get a new car next week. @USAA is the ABSOLUTE best! 💙

@AvQueenBenet Oh no!

Oh! I forgot to tell y’all what happened when my car was stolen on Thursday night! #robbery #joyride #fire

@WABJDC Thanks #NABJ fam!!

@AvQueenBenet Oh no! We are so sorry to see this. Glad you are OK.

@TroyDonte Thank you. I said I could either laugh or cry. I chose to laugh.

@AvQueenBenet Wow! Sorry this happened to you. Your positive attitude about it is spiritually cleansing.

Norwood joined @united in 1965. He received an MBA from @UChicago in 1974. He retired from the #airline in 1996 as a DC-10 captain after an outstanding career. He was inducted into the Ill. #Aviation Hall of Fame in 2007. #BHM #blacksinaviation 🧵/3

Norwood was in ROTC at @SIUC and was quarterback of the football team as the first #Black in that position. He graduated with a degree in chemistry in 1959. He flew B-52s in the @USAirForce through 1965. #BHM #blacksinaviation 🧵/2

William Norwood was the 1st #Black #pilot to fly for @United. He was inspiration to fly while in elementary school in Centralia, Ill., where his principal was a #pilot with the #TuskegeeAirmen during World War II. #BHM #blacksinaviation 🧵/1

In 1963, the @USSupremeCourt sided with Capt. Marlon Green, which paved the way for David Harris to become the first #Black #pilot for a major U.S. airline, @AmericanAir. #ContinentalAirlines did eventually hire Green and named a plane after him. #bhm #blacksinaviation 🧵/7

Green’s lawyer then petitioned the @USSupremeCourt to hear the case and was granted a hearing. US Attorney General Robert Kennedy and other influential figures & organizations filed “friend of the court” briefs on Green’s behalf. #bhm #blacksinaviation 🧵/6

#Pilot Marlon D. Green is known as the “Jackie Robinson of Aviation." He joined the @usairforce in 1948 to become an #aircraft mechanic. He was one of very few black airmen accepted into basic pilot training school in San Antonio in March 1950. #bhm #blacksinaviation 🧵/1
