I was hired on as a brand new A&P mechanic by Jim Kieding 
at the old Ft. Worth Southwest Airport, in 1965. 
I was flown bag, baggage and tool box to Kansas City Airport 
to work as a line mechanic on one of the old 240 Convairs. 
I recall some of the mechanics I worked with at Central in K.C. and are as follows: 
Ernest (Suck My Nose) Hartland Jr. 
That was his favorite saying!! 
Kieth Stielow, don't know if that is the right spelling, 
Dutch (get a bigger hammer) Ancel, 
Willie, can't think of his last name, was line supervisor, 
Clair Baer, was lead mechanic across the field in the big hanger, 
I can still see faces but can't recall any more names. 
Now that I think about it, I have amazed myself as to what 
and who I can recall after nearly 38 years! 
I would love to hear from any of the Central exes.

My Dad, Ernest Hartland was a mechanic at Frontier in Kansas City (MCI) for many years. 
He fell off a work platform in the late 70's and landed on his head, 
was off work for two or three years I think then went back for a while before retiring. 
Despite major damage he ultimately made almost a compete recovery. 
Dad passed in 95. 
I didn't know if there was still anyone around who remembered him.

Welcome to our group.
I found your dad in my files.
He started with Central Airlines Nov 10, 1964.
I started with Central the same year as a station agent.
Did your dad retire before Frontier went bankrupt?
My records show he flew west in 1995, age 76.
Do you have his photo and/or obituary you could post here.
I want to build him a memorial webpage for the Frontier Airlines website.

MKC/MCI Reunion E-list
Hi all,
I just heard from MKC/MCI aircraft mechanic Ernest Hartland's son.
He wonders if anyone remembers his dad.
Ernest started at MKC with CN in Nov 1964.

I remember Ernie well. 
I worked with him around 1972 to 1974 
Probably.at MKC and MCI. He lived in Tracy, Mo.
Which was the county seat of the county where MCI airport is. 
I can't remember the year, but he took a vacation, 
when he came back to work I asked him what he did on vacation. 
He said "oh, nothing I guess, I did get elected mayor of Tracy." 
I said, "I didn't know you were running, Ernie." 
He said "I wasn't but I got more write-in votes than both of the other guys." 
He was a joy to work with. Always even tempered and easy going. A really great guy.
