For nearly 50 years, Captain Jim Anderson has been flying airplanes.
On Sunday, the American Airlines pilot retired taking his last flight on Norfolk International Airport's Runway 5. Anderson's very first solo flight was in August of 1970 at ORF on the very same runway.
Jim is retiring after 33 years as a pilot of American Airlines.
According to ORF, for most people, the sky is the limit, but for Anderson, the sky is home.
The Norfolk International Airport shared Anderson's final landing, ceremonial wash down and a surprise reception to the retired pilot.
Congratulations, Captain Jim Anderson!
