American Airlines pilot Jonathan Campos was among the 67 victims of the tragic January 29 collision between flight 5342 and a U.S. military helicopter near Washington, D.C. His uncle, John Lane, recalled their final conversation—a cheerful 10-minute call before Jonathan boarded, excited about an upcoming family cruise. Jonathan had long dreamed of being a pilot and worked hard to fly larger planes. Lane expressed both grief and pride, remembering him as a “good kid” who had achieved much.
