The Delta Golden Wings, Inc., was organized in November 1968 by the late Captain Tommy Bridges and other retired captains.

Delta Golden Wings, Inc. (DGW) is a fraternal association of retired Delta Pilots and active Delta pilots who have reached the age of 50. Spouses of deceased Delta pilots are also eligible to join. Delta Golden Wings benefits include: a membership directory, periodic local get-togethers and an annual national reunion with the opportunity for lots of fun and camaraderie with other Delta pilots and their spouses.
