GEORGE SWAN 1967 - 1986 PILOT DEN My name is George Swan; FAL 1967-1986. Your Dad gave me some of my initial training in the 580. -George Swan (10/9/07) G H SWAN Pilot seniority date of 5/22/67 on the 9/1/86 FL/ALPA seniority list. -Jake Lamkins (10/10/07) I assumed that you were Pete Lamkin's son. Sorry about the mistake. Anyway, thanks for this reply and I've already received the invite. Are you still in FYV? -George Swan (10/10/07) Fortunately/unfortunately, I went with CAL and retired from there in 1999. With CAL I flew out of DEN for about another 7 yrs until they closed the base then commuted to HOU for another 6 until I retired. On retirement, I decided to move there and now live south of HOU in League City in a marina on Clear Lake. Clear lake empties into Galveston Bay which empties into the Gulf and of course I own a sailboat. You shouldn't have any trouble figuring out what I've been doing in retirement. Life is good! Sounds like you've got life figured out also. Did you know Pete Lamkin? Really a super guy. -George Swan (10/11/07) Regretfully the Gone West of; CAPT GEORGE SWAN...of lung cancer...9-13-09 No other details at this time.

My thoughts to the Family!! -Ken Larason (9/15/09) This email came to me this weekend. I couldn't find Billy's email address but advised the sender that I would forward it to you. -Steve Gustafson ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- I am taking a chance that this E-mail is going to Capt. Billy Walker Frontier Airlines. If This works, Hi Billy, I have just received word of the passing of George Swan. His son Matt Swan has asked me to try to let the retired Frontier Pilots know.

He was a great friend and a fine pilot. -Jack McGuire (9/22/09) I recall that George Swan, flew a lot at Clinton, before flying for Frontier. -Jack McGuire (4/4/10) Remember landing in DEN, and after touch down..instant air swoosh like a window had suddenly opened. I opened cockpit door only to see FO George Swan being pulled back into his harness (thankfully) by jump seat rider. His slide window opened and drop in air pressure tried to suck poor George out.. He was a favorite of mine because he raised llamas. -Rosemary Wirth VanEpps (5/14/15) FLacebook - FL Club FLight West: George Swan DEN pilot George Swan's memorial webpage has been updated: http://FAL-1.tripod.com/George_Swan.html I found his obituary and a photo along with several other items. -Jake Lamkins (8/9/16) Another favorite of mine at FAL.
