Mr. William Regan

James R. Regan shared his life-long love of aviation with his wife, Dorothy M. “Torgy” and his four children, David M., Daniel J., Kathleen D., and William R. He served as a physician in the U.S. Air Force during the 1950s and is proud to have had a ride in a Lockheed T-33. He took his children to air shows, including the spectacular series at Reading (PA) Airport in the 1970s. After his children were grown, he earned his private pilot’s license and later his instrument rating. He and his wife flew around the country, including to the western U.S., in their beloved Piper Arrow (N5030S), based at Easton Airport near their home in Bethlehem, PA. Following his wife’s death in 1999 and his retirement in 2000, flying became the chief source of joy in his life.
