Im also a retired pilot. on FSX.

4:03 Ramp Agent: "It's your last flight?". Captain: "It is!". First Officer: "And it's my first flight!!". Hahaha... ;-)

I have 3.5 million miles logged on this airline. I owe my gratitude to all these dedicated professionals who have safely brought me back home. Thanks Captain.

I don't know about you but I'd be balling my eyes out once I retire from flying.

how could someone dislike this??? this is amazing!

Time flies, Frank has retired in 2009 in 10 years ago, I wish him keep good health & enjoy the retirement life. 👍

I just cant think of a job that would have a more emotional retirement attached to it.

This is the sweetest retirement flight. I like how he kicked the tires!! His family with hi. Happy Blessed Retirement!

He's gonna miss the smell of the coffee brewing, the cabin itself, man its gonna suck not being a captain anymore.

Always think its so sad when a pilot retires but what an amazing office you’ve had during your career!

That final landing for a commercial airline and walking out the most amazing office in the world. That is when it all starts to sink in. Hats off to you capt.

How cool. I'm 12 years late. I hope his retirement is going well. ✈️👍 🙏. Thanks for posting Ken ☺️

Congratulations Captain Frank! You are not retired yet... you just have 7 days off a week (◠‿◠)

Lovely video. That's very touching when he says THAT'S THE END. Congratulations for serving your passengers and getting retired so respectfully.

Congrats Frank, You got to live a dream that a lot of us would love to live. I would love to be able to do what you have done in your time. Also you are very professional. Nice video Thank You.

So great to have so many amazing pilots that unfortunately are retiring. This generation of personnel will be very hard to replace, especially ex-military.

Godspeed Captain Frank ... you are what makes America proud. The airline as well, I am sure. What a nice story and video .Kudos to the videographer/editor for a splendid tribute !

Farewell Captain, Many Many Blessings.

The seasoned veterans are deserving of extra honour for ensuring the safety of so many over so many years What a phenomenal job to experience. What phenomenal people to want to shoulder that kind of responsibility. Thank you and excellent retirement to you..... Our loss.

What an amazing video. I am an aspiring pilot still at school, I hope someday I can end up like Frank. A legend he seems. Congratulations Frank.

THANKS TO CAPTAIN FRANK FOR HIS DEDICATION AND FOR MAKING OUR FLIGHTS ON AMERICAN SMOOTH AND SAFE, MY RECOGNITION TO ALL THE PILOTS THAT MAKE FLYING POSSIBLE EVERY DAY WITH NO ACCIDENTS, ENJOY YOUR WELL EARNED RETIREMENT, ENJOY FAMILY!!!!

We need even more videos like this.

Time flies when you are blessed and having fun.

This video shows so much contentedness. Thanks for uploading this very special moment. I really enjoyed watching!

Alot of respect to this man.Well done sir and thank you for your service to people.Gongrats on your retirement.

As I am a pilot by myself, this has to be a very sad moment. I can't imagine to stop flying airplanes, for me it is not a job, it is a passion. That's my life. I wouldn't want to stop that. But maybe I will be thankful to retire in a few decades.

Speaking as someone on the other side of the whole game, I can't imagine retiring. I just hope to one day be in your shoes, Frank. Congratulations

that was such a nice video! Congratulations Frank! Thank you for your service!

very emotional, congratulations sir all the best! ;)

Love how he kicked the tire!

This just brightened my day. Great job Frank!!

Thanks Kent! Really enjoy your videos. Your tour of the MD-80 cockpit was excellent. Each one of those aircraft was a work of art, and skill. I also look back fondly to the L-1011 TriStar, which I was fortunate to travel on several times. Happy skies, and smooth sailing. Thanks, rich

What an amazing career....

Just got all my books for ground school! Can't wait to actually get in the air!

touched me...amazing video. Frank I wish you good health and happiness and many happy years in retirement.

Best of luck Frank. Thanks for sharing.

04:19 Copilot: "it's my first flight" hahaha LOL

Its a shame he didn't get a shower on the tarmac..American dropped the ball on that one.

Congrats Frank! Thanks for your service!

It is a lovely story to a great legend. I watched this in March 25 2019.

congrates sir.. this video really tear my eyes..

Frank is like the BMW 7-series of the piloting fraternity - he has a proven track record of being the most stable machine on the job, has a lot riding under the hood but, isn't a show-off still. He is fit as a fiddle and cool as a cucumber when it comes to taking his job seriously (just the way all jobs are to be taken by the men/women discharging their responsibilities) even though it is quite evident that he can outrun other aviators with his tall professional credentials. To me, that pretty much sums up my drawing parallels between him and the top end Beamer. American Airlines would do better to request him to be the mascot on all marketing and advertising materials of the company and also the poster man for recruitment advertisements. Speaking purely out of my personal feeling, I think that would perhaps be a higher honour he could be bestowed with to make up for the water cannon salute that he couldn't receive; no real and fair comparison between the two there though.

What a nice write up! happy that there are men with good hearts flying high and yet simple and greed-less like Cpt. Frank. Thanks to you Mr.Kent and i wish Frank a peaceful and happy life ahead. thanks to you all pilots.

Klass! very nice flight! Cheers from Russia!

You surely like the Logan to De Gaulle route don't you. Mine is SFO to SYD on the 744

How can you dislike this? Congrats Captain!

Thanks for keeping all your passengers safe over the years

Will he be able to fly after that flight for hobby?

How is Frank doing? Is he flying elsewhere?

Frank, you have just completed a wonderful journey that some have yet to begin. Cheers

This is what life is all about! Congratulations Cap. Frank!!. As your son said. It´s inspirational. Thank you Ken for sharing. Great video!

that is so sad :(

He retired on my 7th birthday.

I CANNOT STOP CRYING, THIS IS THE WONDERFUL MOMENT!!!

Loved this video! What a nice and humble man Captain Frank is - he's done it all! Just graduating from the Naval Academy is super-fantastic. All "one" has to do is watch and listen to him - lots to be learned there. Congratulations Captain Frank. N-6395T

It is a 200, we don't have any 300's in our fleet

That's messed up they didn't let him have the water cannon salute.

Frank thx so much for your years of service!!! God bless after flying so many people around the world in such a safe manor!

Wow, this is a very nice goodbye tribute and I think it was great that family members were there with him too. Reminds me that so many of us dream of being a pilot when we are kids and here is a man that did it and he looks very happy. Hope all is well, Kevin.

Everyone must be so proud of your accomplishments and dedication. Enjoy your retirement to the fullest Captain Frank.

Without a doubt brings a tear, over and over.

Your video is fantastic. Keep making great informative videos like this one.

Congratulations on Your Retirement, Captain, and Best of Luck and Happiness in Your Future !! Thank You for an Outstanding job... Well Done !!!

I'm endlessly amazed by those who makes their lives in this industry. Kudos.

This was a fantastic video. Very tastefully done. Can't ever imagine giving up such a fantastic career. Again, well done.

The best produced video I have seen in a while. Congrats to Frank and his family from an AA EXP with 4 million miles with AA!

man, that music was perfect with it lol to pilots and aviation enthuseists, we all felt that little tear comin, that was his retiring flight, but once a pilot, always a pilot, he wont stay out of a plane for long :) great video again

I would be so sad and would have teary eyes because I love flying so much! Great video!!

This was so touching & nice..you put a lump in my throat..awesome video :-) Happy Retirement, Captain Frank ! Kirk..Montreal, Canada

My Dad was also a Navy pilot. Graduated from the Naval Academy in 74', worked in the Pentagon, and flew the 737 for a while until he became a check-airman on the 777 for United. Retired in 2015. I start flight school in the fall; hope to follow in his footsteps and fly in the airlines. Really enjoyed this video Kent. Thank you.

It was always great flying with you Frank. Now you'll have more time for your musical endeavors, Jack Hudock

That's awesome quality for 10 years ago!!

Heart touching and inspiring! Best Wishes!!

Beautiful vid! I'm 15 and nothing is gonna stop me from becoming a 767 pilot. Congratulations and best wishes to the captain.

Wow, the quality of this video is amazing! It feels like I'm actually watching a short documentary.
