An interesting bit of trivia!

I came across this link, and since I was employed by the "Original" Frontier Airlines for 23+ years, (1965 until the end of operations in 1986) I found it to be very interesting. I fueled, loaded cargo and passengers, and rode on this aircraft many times.

It's kind of a sad ending to a great aircraft, but I guess that's the way things sometimes go.

Yes its sad. Sad when things we identify as part of ourselves become as all all must,to an end. Sometimes a piece of us is gone with it. Maby our lives are measured with the partnership of things,and machines.In earlier times it may have been a horse. We all, I'm sure we have memory's associated with cars ,bikes, and boats to name a few,which we shared secret,quiet,and pleasant experiences with.They become the yardstick of our lives. Maybe we morn them,knowing that life it self is fleeting. Thanks Darrel VIN
