“Flight 203” is a song I wrote back in my college days during the late 70’s. The song was inspired by a conversation I had with a commercial airline pilot. During the course of our conversation, the urban legend of not allowing two Christian pilots to fly a commercial flight together. There is no evidence to verify the veracity of the legend, but it was enough for me to write a song about it.

I updated the song lyrics to include a comment about a viral post. Back in the late 70’s, when I wrote the song, there was no such thing as Twitter, Facebook or any other social networking site.
