Mother-Daughter Pilot Duo Becomes Famous Overnight, Inspires Internet Users
A mother and daughter pilot team has caught the attention of the internet after a passenger snapped a photo of them while in the cockpit of an Atlanta-bound Delta Boeing 757.
The passenger Dr. John R. Watret, who is the chancellor of the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, was flying from Los Angeles to Atlanta on March 16. Watret was surprised when he overheard that his flight crew was a mother and daughter duo—Capt. Wendy Rexon and her first-officer daughter, Kelly Rexon. Embry-Riddle is a world renown aeronautical university.
