Imagine the pride American Airlines pilot Scott Byrne felt when he realized his co-pilot for the next few days would be someone he knew well. Very well.

And imagine the excitement Jen Byrne felt sitting next to a man she called her "hero" as the plane she was piloting took off.

The dad-and-daughter duo, both pilots for American Airlines, had the opportunity to fly together Wednesday for the first time as First Officer and Captain. The flight was from Chicago to Dallas and then on to Orange County.

"It also marked the one-year anniversary since I've joined American," said Jen Byrne.

Scott Byrne said they were so busy with the pre-flight requirements and then take off that he almost forgot who was sitting next to him.
