We started in February with the 30th anniversary of the Vulcan arriving at Wellesbourne in 1984, the start of ‘655’s second career when the aircraft was bought by businessman Roy Jacobsen with his ambitious plans for the Vulcan to fly on the British and American air show circuits based at Wellesbourne and captained by Joe L’Estrange. Alas, the plans never came to pass, but Roy’s loss was MaPS’ (and therefore all military aircraft enthusiasts’) gain as for 30 years we have been the proud custodians of the world’s only Olympus 301-powered Vulcan able to move (on the ground at least) under its own power. In November, we will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the ‘birth’ of XM655 at the Avro works in Woodford and Chadderton back in November 1964. Our Vulcan was the third last of 136 manufactured by Avro and for the last thirty years has been the youngest surviving example, although at the ripe old age of 50 ‘young’ is perhaps a relative description.

  • Fall October 2015 #61
    1 FLifty years for Kathie! A newsletter for the employees, families and friends of the Old Frontier Airlines We are FLamily! FALL OCTOBER 2015 #61 Pictured above is the August 24, 1965 Frontier flight attendant class: L-R Sharon Swingler, Colleen Gregg, Mildred Ann Barton, Kathleen O'Connor, Jean Genar, Sandra Hurley, Judy Petrucciani, Ann Percival and Rita Thomas. This past August, 50 years later, Kathie O’Connor Fahrenholz retired as a flight attendant with United Airlines. After Frontier Airline’s bankruptcy in 1986 she continued her career with Continental Airlines until it merged with United Airlines in 2010. Five years later, two months ago, she retired from United with 50 years of service. An incredible feat!. Kathie’s husband Chuck Fahrenholz was Frontier’s LAS sales representative at the bankruptcy. See page 3 2 The FRONTIER NEWS is published quarterly and dedicated to ex-employees, friends, family and fans of the “old” Frontier Airlines which “died” on August 24, 1986 and was “buried” on May 31, 1990. It is a non-profit operation. All income goes into keeping the NEWS going. Opinions expressed in this newsletter are those of the author and not the editor or the publication. Publishing dates are October for Fall, January for Winter, April for Spring and July for Summer. Articles and photos are welcomed and subject to editing and space requirements. We cannot pay for such items but will give credit as appropriate. All submissions should deal with the “old” Frontier Airlines. Especially welcomed are stories of personal experiences with a humorous slant. Special thanks go out to Daryle Holte and Jim Kyte All airline employees have a treasure trove of such for their large donations to the cause.

  • Scholarships and Bursaries to Meet One Another
    The Air League Newsletter Issue 4: July/August 2015 REMEMBERING THE FEW he summer air show season is with us again and with it comes the annual opportunity for the public at large to see close up the equipment and personnel who continue to provide our air defences. The biggest gathering as usual will be at Tthe Royal International Air Tattoo being held at RAF Fairford from July 17-19 which will see international participants from air forces and army and naval air squadrons from all over the world, and also a nostalgic pageant of vintage and classic warbirds representing a century of military aviation. Other air displays will take place in many locations around Great Britain, from Prestwick to Bournemouth as well as at such well-known airfields as Duxford and Old Warden, where newly restored veteran aircraft demonstrate the ongoing enthusiasm and dedication that keeps alive interest in aviation history for the benefit of future generations. The shrinking size of the UK’s own air power is very noticeable at RIAT, where once dozens of operational units proudly displayed their squadron colours to the public. Although this reflects the reality of lost capabilities and depleted numbers, the ethos and professionalism of today’s Few will still feature strongly, thanks to the appearances of the Red Arrows and the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, and various individual aircraft displays. To commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain a Typhoon of No 29 Squadron has been repainted in the 1940 wartime colour scheme with the identification code of the aircraft flown by Flt Lt James Brindley Nicholson, the only Fighter Command pilot awarded the Victoria Cross during the battle.

Deretter går jeg gjennom teorien rundt nettverksøkonomi som er det som definerer hvordan flyselskapene setter opp sine nettverksdesign. Kostnadseffekter som skalaøkonomi, samdriftsfordeler og tetthetsøkonomi gjennomgås før vi ser på hvordan etterspørselskarakteristika også påvirker nettverksøkonomi. Luftfartsnettverket i Norge og Skandinavia diskuteres så spesielt, der både nettverksselskapenes og lavkostselskapenes nettverk gjennomgås.
