Harley Gibbs, a Claremont native and 2018 Langford Area graduate, was recently hired by Delta airlines. At his wings ceremony a couple of weeks ago, he was recognized for being the youngest pilot ever hired by the company. Gibbs has been flying since he was 17. He credits his aviation background (his mother as a flight attendant and his father a pilot) for growing his interest in the industry.
Gibbs Is Flying High
Harley Gibbs was a smalltown kid. He grew up in Claremont and graduated from Langford Area in 2018. Gibbs says growing up in a tight-knit community surrounded by lots of family, including his grandma Yvonne who lived next door, kept him grounded. Yet, ironically, he couldn’t wait to take flight. In fact, he has a rich background in aviation despite being from ‘the sticks.’ Thus, it comes as little surprise that Gibbs is flying high these days.

Several people gathered at the Britton Ballfields a few weekends ago. The army of volunteers went to work on various improvements around the facility, including dugouts, concrete, batting cages, fencing and more. Pictured, Rachelle Kilker and Kyla Richter work on dugout benches during the volunteer day recently at the Britton ballparks.
