Captain Al Haynes, retired United Airlines pilot and hero of United Flight 232, shares his personal accounts with more than 500 Airmen on “Teamwork in Crisis” during his visit to Travis AFB on May 19. On July 19, 1989, Haynes piloted his DC-10 from Denver, CO to Chicago, Ill. with 296 passengers and crew on board.
