Talking Flight is proud to present this interview with Retired Alaska Airlines Captain Michael (Dibs) Dibello.

Mike is a former Navy Squadron Commander, and he later served as the Boeing 737 Fleet Captain at Alaska Airlines. His first exposure to aviation came when his father took him to Boston's Logan International Airport to watch airplanes take off and land.

High School and College did not come easy for him, but after some Navy ROTC advisors' counseling, he improved his study habits and got his degree in Aeronautical Engineering. He was accepted into US Navy Flight Training and went on the fly the A-7 attack jet.

Captain DiBello tells us how the Navy trains pilots to land on the deck of an aircraft carrier.

He later became one of the most respected pilots at Alaska Airlines.
