Fort Worth, Texas-based American Airlines invited Blackman to ride on a vintage DC-3 to mark his anniversary with the company.
The aircraft, the Flagship Detroit, is owned by a nonprofit foundation that has restored it to a historically accurate approximation of what it looked like when it was in passenger service for American from 1937 to 1947.
