Texas' Turbulent Trip

As many of you know, our colleague and friend Texas was diagnosed with metastatic melanoma, an aggressive cancer, in summer 2021. In September, he finished a round of targeted gene therapy and was optimistic for the future, including planning to return to the skies to fly his much loved Q400 and eventually the new E2. Recently, he and his partner Leslie received news that the melanoma had spread to his brain. It is very rare that someone recovers from this, and while Texas and his partner Leslie are staying hopeful, life expectancy is only 3 months.

We would like to come together to raise some funds to help ease their financial pressures while Leslie takes time off work to spend these coming days with Texas.

Texas, your Porter family is thinking of you, and we continue to hope for the day you can once again “Reply All” to an airplane repo email.
