FRONTIER NEWS a Newsletter for the Employees, Families and Friends of the 1 FRONTIER NEWS A newsletter for the employees, families and friends of the "old" Frontier Airlines. Challenger Airlines was one of Frontier’s four predecessor airlines. The others were Monarch Airlines, Arizona Airways and Central Airlines. Does anyone know who the unidentified stewardess is in the above photo? Monarch had stewards which were phased out after the June 1, 1950 merger. See Donna Mars Gens note on page 15. Arizona was not flying scheduled service when merged. A review of the July 15, 1948 Challenger Airlines Employees Directory reveal these CHA employees and their positions then that are still with us: Mel Barnard, BIL station manager, Sam Grande, SLC captain, Bill Monday, WRL station manager, Jim Montgomery, CYS station manager, Jack Schade, SLC first officer and Tink Thiese, SLC mechanic. Are there others I’ve missed? Mel is 87 and lives in Tigard, OR, Sam’s 92 and in DEN and Bill’s also in DEN and age 85. Jim is now 91 and lives in DEN while both Jack (89) and Tink (85) are in SLC. All six subscribe to the FL News. More on Challenger on page 21 and in the Fall 2005 (#21) issue of the News which features Ken Schultz’ eight page history of the carrier.

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.

  • BEECH D18S/ D18C & RCAF EXPEDITER Mk.3 (Built at Wichita, Kansas Between 1945 and 1957)
    Last updated 10 March 2021 BEECH 18 PRODUCTION LIST Compiled by Geoff Goodall PART 2: BEECH D18S/ D18C & RCAF EXPEDITER Mk.3 (Built at Wichita, Kansas between 1945 and 1957) Beech D18S VH-FIE (A-808) flown by owner Rod Lovell at Mangalore, Victoria in April 1984. Photo by Geoff Goodall The D18S was the first new commercial Beechcraft model at the end of World War II. It began a production run of 1,800 Beech 18 variants for the post-war market (D18S, D18C, E18S, G18S, H18), all built by Beech Aircraft Company at their Wichita Kansas plant. The “S” suffix indicated it was powered by the reliable 450hp P&W Wasp Junior series. The first D18S c/n A-1 was first flown in October 1945 at Beech field, Wichita. On 5 December 1945 the D18S received CAA Approved Type Certificate No.757, the first to be issued to any post-war aircraft. The first delivery of a new model D18S to a customer departed Wichita the following day. From 1947 the D18C model was available as an executive version with more powerful 525hp Continental R-9A radials, also offered as the D18C-T passenger transport approved by CAA for feeder airlines. Beech assigned c/n prefix "A-" to D18S production, and "AA-" to the small number of D18Cs. Total production of the D18S, D18C and Canadian Expediter Mk.3 models was 1,035 aircraft.

  • History of the Dane County Regional Airport
    History Of The Dane County Regional Airport 1920’s: Madison’s first airport Barnstormer Howard Morey of Chicago, Edgar Quinn and J.J. McMannamy organized the Madison Airways Corporation. Located near highways 12 and 18 on the south shore of Lake Monona, Madison’s first airport was born. In 1927, the Royal Rapid Transit Company (RRTC) purchased the Madison Airways Corporation. The airport was quickly renamed the Royal Airport and the Royal Airways Corporation (RAC). RRTC provided Madison with the first cabin airplane (which sat five passengers) and the first airline to provide daily service to Chicago. In 1927, the City of Madison purchased 290 acres of land for $35,380. Previously a cabbage patch for a nearby sauerkraut factory, the newly acquired land would later become the present day home of the Dane County Regional Airport. In 1928, RRTC discontinued service to Chicago and liquidated its assets. 1930’s: Madison’s first airplane manufacturing plant Madison welcomes the first airplane manufacturing plant – the Corben Sport Plane Company. Corben designed and produced his semi-built “Super Ace” kits, which included converted Fort Model A motors. In 1934, Corben left Madison amid bankruptcy. Wisconsin artist Cal Peters, in 1936, painted a Depression Era mural of his vision of what the Madison Municipal Airport would be. The mural depicted a terminal building along Highway 51, and two crosswind runways. The restored mural is displayed in the Greeter’s lounge in the center of the main terminal. In January of 1936, the city council voted to accept a WPA grant for construction of four runways and an airplane hangar.

  • Master Plan Update Appendix F
    APPENDIX F – AIRPORT BACKGROUND Introduction The appendix provides a broad background related to the airport with information covered in the following sections: General History Management/Governing Structure Airline/FBO/Major Tenant History Planning History General History Minot The origins of the City of Minot date back to 1887 during the Dakota Territory land boom, when the Great Northern Railroad made its way through the prairie. From its humble beginnings as a small railroad town, Minot experienced phenomenal growth during the early years of the 20th Century. Minot is home to about 46,000 people and is the regional hub of commerce, health care, finance, agribusiness, education, industry, transportation, and tourism in the area for a total of 76,000 people. The economies of the surrounding predominately rural counties are closely intertwined with Minot. Minot earned its nickname as the ‘Magic City’ after the town virtually sprang up overnight in 1886 growing to 5,000 residents in a few months. Minot International Airport (MOT) Minot's first airstrip was developed by the Minot Park District in the late 1920's on a 20 acre tract in the southern portion of present airport property. The dedication of the "Port of Minot" was held on July 23, 1928 to coincide with the "Ford National Reliability Tour", an event typical of the "barnstorming" days. The Park District eventually transferred all airport property acquired over time to the City of Minot in 1943. The original runway had an east-west orientation. Improvements (i.e., grading, apron area, and lighting) were provided by the Works Progress Administration prior to World War II.

  • Research Studies Series a History of the Civil Reserve
    RESEARCH STUDIES SERIES A HISTORY OF THE CIVIL RESERVE AIR FLEET By Theodore Joseph Crackel Air Force History & Museums Program Washington, D.C., 1998 ii PREFACE This is the second in a series of research studies—historical works that were not published for various reasons. Yet, the material contained therein was deemed to be of enduring value to Air Force members and scholars. These works were minimally edited and printed in a limited edition to reach a small audience that may find them useful. We invite readers to provide feedback to the Air Force History and Museums Program. Dr. Theodore Joseph Crackel, completed this history in 1993, under contract to the Military Airlift Command History Office. Contract management was under the purview of the Center for Air Force History (now the Air Force History Support Office). MAC historian Dr. John Leland researched and wrote Chapter IX, "CRAF in Operation Desert Shield." Rooted in the late 1930s, the CRAF story revolved about two points: the military requirements and the economics of civil air transportation. Subsequently, the CRAF concept crept along for more than fifty years with little to show for the effort, except for a series of agreements and planning documents. The tortured route of defining and redefining of the concept forms the nucleus of the this history. Unremarkable as it appears, the process of coordination with other governmental agencies, the Congress, aviation organizations, and individual airlines was both necessary and unavoidable; there are lessons to be learned from this experience. Although this story appears terribly short on action, it is worth studying to understand how, when, and why the concept failed and finally succeeded.
