He flew "By The Book" and made it fun.......

It was my pleasure to be Captain Joe's co-pilot during the DC-3 days and the early days of the Martin 202.

The Smile captured in the photos was that same smile Joe "wore" constantly during his years flying for TWA.

No one made the job of co-pilot more enjoyable than this man and in my judgment, no one was a finer airline pilot than Captain Joe Grant.

Rest in Peace.


One of his appreciative co-pilots

"Captain" Grant exemplified the word gentleman, pioneer, perfectionist, friend and most of all, a great aviator. We have all lost a great person, but, he lived a full, honorable and happy life. God rest you my friend.
