Delta Pilot who flew through Hurricane Irma is NC State graduate

Ok, I know this isn’t sports related, but it’s pretty cool nonetheless.

In case you didn’t hear, there was a bit of controversy around Delta not cancelling flights that were going to fly through the outer band of Hurrican Irma. It was a flight from San Juan, Puerto Rico to JFK in NYC. All other airlines had already cancelled their flights, but not Delta. They believed there was a small path that the pilot could get through before the hurricane got too bad.

Here they go! DL302 now taxiing for takeoff before #Irma gets really bad.
