Pete Carleton

Pete Carleton is a Minnesota-based frequent flyer who survived a harrowing plane crash in Toronto on Delta Connection flight 4819, where he experienced the aircraft overturning on the runway. The traumatic event left him with lasting emotional and physical effects, including panic attacks and hearing loss, and he has since struggled with a newfound fear of flying. Despite these challenges, Carleton has sought to give back by volunteering at a raptor center, finding solace in nature and wildlife preservation as he navigates his recovery.
