Since he was a young boy growing up in Moultrie, Ga., Sidney Johnston Cook III wanted to fly.
His dream came true when he graduated from the Aviation Cadets Training Program in June, 1955. He got his wings, his commission and a new bride all in one week.
He served three years in the United States Air Force before settling down with his wife, Melba Schwall, in metro Atlanta to begin a career as a commercial airline pilot with Southern Airways. Over his thirty-year airline career, Sid flew the DC-3, Martin 404, DC-9 and Boeing 757.
