FORREST CLAXTON 1955 - 1957 AIRCRAFT MECHANIC FYV Don Cecil phoned and we got together later for coffee. He said he was based in FYV for awhile in relief of Forrest Claxton who later became a pilot and retired as a DC-10 captain with CO. Claxton was based in FYV in the late 50s for about a year. -Jake Lamkins (8/17/07) His obituary was found at http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/news-leader/obituary.aspx?pid=177994382 while doing a periodic check at Legacy.com for Central Airlines. -Jake Lamkins (4/18/17) If he retired from Continental in 1983 after 26 years then he probably left Central Airlines in 1957. I'm guessing he started around 1955. I will use those dates until information to the contrary is received. -Jake Lamkins (4/21/17) CONTINENTAL AIRLINES PILOT FORREST CLAXTON, 1713 Briarwood, is a recent newcomer to our fair city.
