  • My dad flew both this Convair 580, and the Super 80 at Frontier - as well as the 737-200. I showed him all your videos too. Great job.

  • My dad as well! My dad is Bill Neff. Yours?

  • no audio, lame.

  • My dad sent me to your main website. Great to see the next generation keeping the "Old Frontier" alive. Mark Guthrie / My dad also named Bill.

  • Bill Neff was our Best Man 40 years ago. I'd bet he's immensely proud of his sons!

    I am trying to figure out who Mike Neff is?

    That said, the Frontier R/C flying is TERRIFIC! Thanks!

  • Superb appearance, flying, everything!!

  • air modeling genious but not enough brainpower to realize copyright infringement,

    would have loved to hear this!!

  • I hated this aircraft when I flew for Frontier. I remember a flight with 17 full barf bags. As a flight attendant we knew which flights were Convair and which ones were 737's. Flying reserve I would groan when I knew I was going to be on one of these, flying at rooftop level across Nebraska.

  • Anyone know where I can get plans to build one?

  • Hey Mike, this is too cool! I loved the 580's. My dad flew DC-3's, CV-240's and CV-600's with Central and then started over again when they merged with Frontier. He loved flying the 580's. He was flying Capt. on the B-737's when he had to retire in '81 for medical reasons. He passed in '82. Capt. H.D. (Hal) Grogg. Tim

  • To all, the greatest Airline ever. Sorry I am biased, yes my Father was the old Frontier, the gold bow and turquoise arrow, now that was cool. BTW, they have a great newletter for the old airlines and we should all support.

    BTW, Frontier has just started service between Denver, CO and Newport News, VA, so if you are ever coming out here, you are family.

    Thank you producers of this video, you picked the correct airline and family :-)

  • Thanks for some great memories. I flew the Twin Otter, Convair 580, and the 737-200 at Frontier from 1978 to 1986 when they were shut down. A said day in airline history. Best people I ever met...thanks, Earl Guidry
