[From Preface] THIS BOOK CAPTURES THE LIFETIME LEGACY OF flying the Rocky Mountain empire with Frontier Airlines and their highly specialized professional pilots. They devoted their lives to achieve for Frontier Airlines, and themselves, the best safety record in the history of civil aviation. This record was based upon the most stringent measure of the number of takeoffs and landings while flying extreme conditions. Frontier Airlines?not to be confused with the start-up company currently using the Frontier name?flew from 1946 into 1986. They flew safely and confidently from coast to coast, throughout Canada, and into Mexico. In her early history, crews hand flew the old DC-3s over the high Rocky Mountains in and out of black holes to small airports hidden in deep mountain valleys to achieve this remarkable and enviable record. As Frontier Captain Billy Walker pointed out, "When the book was closed on the Frontier story, a large number of proud employees left a remarkable legacy for historians to ponder over. The book touches upon the early history of aviation beginning with the first scheduled passenger flights and early, transcontinental mail flights that developed into today's large airlines. It also invites you into the cockpit for a lighter dimension of aviation. You will surely enjoy the camaraderie of the crews, the high jinks and shared jokes they pulled on one another. Share the experience of flying through Tornado Alley without radar and of flying resolutely in canyons of moist, sodden clouds while lightning displays a mushroom of highlighted pageantry throughout the heavens. Along with their stories I encouraged the pilots to write what enticed them into aviation. Some of these interest go back to the 1920S and '30s. I found that pilots shared a common goal of wanting to fly airplanes from the early days of their youth. Many have expressed that no one is interested in reading an old pilot's story. Having cajoled, threatened and sulked to get this material - may the reader be the judge of that.
