Husband and wife met at the US Air Force and have been in love for 30 years - now they are flying planes together!
“Love is in the air” is one of the most popular wedding and romcom songs ever – it describes the invisible magic of this incredible feeling. Well, for Joel and Shelley Atkinson, love is literally in the air – a couple who met 30 years ago as US Air Force jet pilots now fly Southwest Airlines planes together as a dream team and they say there is no turbulence in their relationship.
A few more years later, they finally met after completing their pilot training in different states. As if to make it even more magical and serendipitous, the couple got the same first assignment – to fly the Lockheed C-130 Hercules aircraft in Texas. “She’s taller than me. And I had never dated anyone taller than me. She’s an athlete, she’s a natural leader, and just an impressive person.”strikes, such details don’t really matter. Joel made Shelley laugh until her cheeks hurt – every time she would see him, she could not stop smiling. But it was his gentle and warm nature that appealed to her the most: “He just really has a sensitive heart to people, all people around him, he looks out for people.
“She looks to me and relies on me for the experience that I have. But I also know that she is a very sharp person, she just went through a lot of training. So her knowledge is fresh. And she also has that wisdom and judgment,” shared Joel.The job is way more enjoyable when you’re doing it with someone you love and the Atkinsons are surely making the most of it.
