DALLAS - When Bryan Knight was 5 years old, he said goodbye to his father at an airport in Dallas, Texas, just before he was sent off to the Vietnam War.
A few months later, US Air Force Maj. Roy A. Knight, Jr., 36, went missing in action.
Earlier this year, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency informed Knight that his father's remains had been found.
On Thursday, Knight -- a pilot for Southwest -- flew his father's remains back to the place where he last saw him more than 50 years ago, Dallas Love Field Airport.
The photos showed the honor guard waiting for and then carrying the casket, while the ground crew stood at attention.
