~ IN MEMORY ~

NWA Capt. George “Greg” Booze

October 26, 1944 ~ August 19, 2026

 

From the retired Northwest Airlines pilot group comes word with the passing of Captain George “Greg” Gregory Booze, a good friend and working colleague to many.  Greg was born in Kansas City, Missouri. By 1950 the Booze family had moved to Florida where Greg would go on to attend the University of Florida.  Of interest, Greg’s father Captain George Lucian Booze was a WWII pilot and flew for National Airlines based Miami after his time in service. Greg joined Northwest Airlines 10-25-1965.  Daughter Melissa was born during Greg’s time while based in MSP.  Greg had most recently resided in Florida.

If more is learned, we will be sure to repost details.

Thank you,

On a personal note: Greg Booze was an NWA Pilot Hire classmate of mine. He

was hired by NWA on Oct. 25, 1965. Greg was one of the youngest classmates,

born 10/26/44, almost exactly four years after me. There were other

exceptionally young fellows in this class, e.g., Bob Peasley, Dick Wing, Jim

Landgren, Paul Tosch, et al………………..  

It was an honor and pleasure knowing Greg Booze.
