Nasa Physicist Makes Aliyah, Delta Airlines Honors Him

Physicist Jerry Wittenstein worked with astronaut Neil Armstrong at NASA and developed half of Apollo 11's trajectories. But now he and his wife are on a new trajectory.

The couple just made Aliyah (come on in, the water's fine) from Huntsville, Alabama. On their flight to Israel, Delta Airlines gave them a touching goodbye (video above) and passed on a message from their grandson. For these dedicated 20-year Delta Airline passengers, this is their last planned flight now that they are coming home to Israel.
