(ABC) – At 86 years old, American Airlines flight attendant Bette
Nash *above) is the oldest and longest-serving flight attendant
in the world, according to Guinness World Records.  

Nash started flying back in 1957 and will celebrate 65 years in-
flight this fall.

She can choose any route she wants and for most of her career
she has been loyal to the New York-Washington-Boston Shuttle.

Nash prefers this route because she says it allows her to be home
every night with her handicapped son who she continues to care
for to this day.

On July 2, 1937, the Lockheed aircraft carrying American aviator
Amelia Earhart and navigator Frederick Noonan was reported
missing near Howland Island in the Pacific.
