Windsor Tomcats

The Tomcats have become a member of the mile-high club…sort of.

Back on July 18th, Rocky, Roxy (his wife) and the Rockettes (2 daughters) were heading off to Calgary for a little Rocky Mountain adventure. While boarding the 737 at Windsor’s airport, Rocky and his family gave a wave up to the tower where Doc was manning the airfield. What’s better than a friendly send off from a fellow Tomcat to start a vacation?

Three hours later, as the airliner started to approach the Calgary area, the pilot came on…

“From the flight deck, this is your captain. We are preparing to make our descent into Calgary. Looks like mostly sunny skies, about 24 degrees and a slight wind coming from the West. As well, we have a message from the tower back in Windsor. We would like to welcome on board, from the Windsor Tomcats, Rocky and his family. We hope they have a great time in Calgary. Tomcats Forever!”

The passengers looked around to see who Rocky was and it became obvious since his wife and daughters started cheering and pointed Rocky out.

Sorry to say that Rocky did not attempt to get a rendition of the “Tomcats Forever” song going, but you know if Stevo had been on the plane, children would have had to cover their ears.

When asked if this really took place, Rocky indicated, “Yes, Doc had the pilot send us a shout out…a great way to start a vacation.  Awesome gesture made by an awesome Tomcat – thanks Doc!”
