Sent by: -Ken Schultz, Wheat Ridge Rocky Nelson was the president of Arizona Airways from it's incoportation. He was a 1500 hour pilot, instrumental in the Arizona Airways preliminary flight school for the US Navy. Nelson was a member of the National Aeronautic Association, president of State Development Co. from 1928-32, president of Nelson Engineering Corp, formed by him in 1932 and operated until 1941 when he formed his Navy flight school. The two largest share holders in the new airline were Nelson (8050 shares) with $80,000 subscribed and Vice President Johnny Bulla (4000 shares) with $40,000 subscribed. The Goldwaters had $21,000 invested. Other board members of Arizona Airways were: Bob Goldwater, JJ Glancy, JR Heron, Maurice Hackett, Bill Beatus, Jim Maffeo, JD Merill, Bill Chamberlain, EC Lockleer, Columbus Giragi, LR Inwood, Joe Bartles, JB Van Buren Wittman and Del Webb. The airplanes were purchased through the War Assets Office with my Dad's company, Plains Airways, acting as the broker. My Dad and Ralph Johnson delivered the airplanes to Phoenix. The titles passed direct to Arizona Airways. -Billy Walker (11/6/11) FLacebook - FL Club FLight West: Del Webb Del's memorial webpage has been posted: http://FAL-1.tripod.com/Del_Webb.html Del helped found Arizona Airways in 1946 and came on the first Frontier Airlines Board in 1950. I have no info on when he left the Board after his re-election in 1952. He is not shown on the 1958 Board -Jake Lamkins (3/11/16) Del Webb was a Phoenix developer/contractor who knew the Goldwaters and other prominent AZ families quite well, thus his early investments in Arizona Airways. Though he was a minority investor, he made it to the Frontier board of directors after the merger and stayed there until January of 1954. He had numerous business contacts, Las Vegas contracts, was associated with Howard Hughes and even co owned the New York Yankees for several years. I read once that his association with Frontier early on was mostly absentee, which is likely why he moved on after a few years, though I can't specifically confirm that. His presence with Frontier early on is another sign of those times, as management mostly performed day to day operational planning and the board typically went with their recommendations. -Greg Stearns (3/14/16)
