First Officer Chris D. parked Delta ship 3009 at the Victorville airport in the California desert for what he thought was a two-week lockdown on March 23, 2020. Over a year later, First Officer Nick P. is finally beginning a checklist to take ship 3009 out of storage.
Inside, he found a letter penned by Chris D. about his experience leaving the aircraft behind and what he hopes will be happening after. The 57-word note was “tucked away on a tray table in the flight deck,” according to Delta’s Facebook post.
