ROANOKE, Va. (WDBJ) - This Black History Month, we’re taking time to hear the stories of people in our hometowns. That includes a man who was the first Black air traffic controller at the Roanoke-Blacksburg Regional Airport.
Freddie Delbridge joined the Air Force at 18 years old, and it was those four years in the Air Force, including one in Vietnam, that shaped his future in the airline industry.
“I got a job as an air traffic controller, well during that time, I didn’t even know what an air traffic controller was, never even rode on an airplane, never been to an airport,” Delbridge said.
