Meet Bette Nash: She might just be the world's oldest serving flight attendant


(CNN) For nearly six decades, Bette Nash has been sharing her contagious smile with the world -- from 30,000 feet.

This makes it quite possible that she's the world's most senior flight attendant, still flying.

At 80 years of age, it's safe to say she's seen it all, and served them all.

"The Kennedys used to fly with us," Nash reminisces, while preparing drinks on her daily route from Washington National to Boston Logan on American Airlines.

It's her regular route, and her passengers are friends. Greetings include a hug and a sincere inquiry on how they're doing.

It's clear: Bette Nash is really piloting this plane.
