I had the honor of a water cannon salute when I retired from NWA 747 Flight 2. The fire trucks escorted my aircraft to the parking gate. In the cab of a fire truck was my two kids watching
the celebration.

Was that at MSP? I live about six miles from the airport and I remember NWA 747 heading for Japan flying right over the house many times. The rumble in the distance getting closer and there it was, a majestic sight. NWA is long gone now, but I still remember that big beautiful bird overhead. It wasn't the objectionable noise like from a 727 rather just a rumble. You were probably one of those pilots flying over my house back then.

We just had a Captain get the water salute in Seattle Wa. We flew Delta A 330 from Amsterdam to Seattle. I will never forget that !!! What a career !

1997 was a passenger on AA flight LAX-SLC when our Captain received the same salute, great cheers rang out in the cabin when it was announced

Must be an emotional moment for pilots who are honored in this way.

My fini flight was no different than any of the others I flew. No water canons, no handshake from the BCP, just grabbed my brain bag, hugged my wife, and walked up the jetway. Pretty anticlimactic way to end 32 years with Alaska.
