This cache I originated AAL727 in, is a new cache by me that is dedicated to my late wife and all those whose lives have been affected by cancer. This travel bug, the Boeing 727, is the first aircraft I flew for American Airlines. A little more story behind this TB and cache. I first met my late wife while in flight training for the US Coast Guard. She was a civilian attending the same church I visited. She helped me with my aircraft systems studies, I became a Coast Guard pilot and we got married. Eventually I left the USCG for the airlines. I flew the 727 as a Flight Engineer and First Officer for 7 or 8 years, before transitioning over to the Boeing 757 and 767, which is what I currently fly. Behind every good man, is a great woman. Unfortunately that great woman passed away after losing her battle to cancer a few years ago. I got interested in Geocaching after my brother introduced me to it, when he came out in my initial time of grief. I am now remarried, again to a very good woman. I've taken the next step in geocaching, after placing a dozen or so trackables out there, and this cache is the second one I've placed. Please enjoy moving this little travel bug around, and thanks to the "First to move it" for visiting my cache!
