This photo of Southwest Captain Ted Orris's final take-off before retirement is really something, but the story behind it is even better. In 2015, Captain Orris noticed a teenager taking pictures of planes during a layover before one of his flights. (1/8)
He approached the teenager, Ryan (@diecastryan), and invited him into the cockpit. This was the start of a friendship and mentorship that lasts to this day. (2/8)
Fast forward to 2020: partly due to Ted’s mentorship and encouragement, Ryan is now a professional aviation photographer. Like, he gets to regularly take pictures from helicopters. 👀
