<blockquote><i><b>Thirty years ago, Captain David Wilson sat in the cockpit of a Boeing 737, his crisp uniform perfectly pressed, his smile full of pride. In the seat beside him was his 2-year-old son, Michael, wearing a tiny white shirt and the biggest grin imaginable.</b></i><br><br><i>David didnt just see a toddler that dayhe saw a future. One day, he whispered, adjusting Michaels toy headset, well fly together for real. Life, however, had turbulence.</i><br><br><i>Davids job kept him away from home for long stretches.
