Incredible facts
What do you associate with the word flight attendant? Most of us have the image of a thin young flight attendant. An American airline employee breaks stereotypes that only young and beautiful people can work in aircraft cabins. Ron Acana is 83 years old. It was only a week ago that he decided to take a well-deserved rest.
According to the Associated Press, Ron is recognized as the oldest flight attendant to ever work in civil aviation. The fact is also interesting. That an older man has worked in this job without changing it for more than 63 years. According to him, the number of years he devoted to air and airplanes is amazing to many. However, Ron himself attributes this to his constancy. Ron himself applied to the Guinness Book of Records to be listed as the oldest steward. And just recently he received a positive answer. Ron Akana has received a certification that confirms his achievement and that no one in the world has ever surpassed him.
Information about this amazing person will be published in the Guinness Book in October this year. Ron's last flight as an airline employee took place in August. And on the way back, Akana took the passenger seat and enjoyed the flight with pleasure. According to him, it was very pleasant to be a simple passenger on the plane and to see aviation with different eyes.
When a pensioner is asked about his immediate plans, he does not hesitate to answer: “Travel, only travel.” Akan's wife also plans to accompany him on all flights.
It should be added that United Airlines will provide Ron and his wife with 200 million miles of flight to various destinations. According to Ron, he could not imagine a better gift for himself. Didn't Ron ever fly in his life? In response to this question, an elderly American only smiles enigmatically and says that there is never too much sky.
