The Yankees had a familiar face flying their plane to Tampa.
Clarke Schmidt’s dad, Dwight, a Delta pilot of nearly 30 years, was in the cockpit Thursday to pilot the Yankees’ team charter from Newark Airport.
“I think a lot of guys got to see things they never got to see as far as going up to the cockpit and stuff like that.” But Schmidt had been optioned to Triple-A shortly before that trip, which made Thursday’s flight more special for the right-hander. Manager Aaron Boone, who went on a flight simulator with Dwight last week when the team was in Atlanta, also enjoyed the experience.
