SYL CUELLAR 1948 - 1980 RADIO MECHANIC, AIRCRAFT MECHANIC, FLIGHT SIMULATOR TECHNICIAN DEN I had the privilege of working for Clyde starting in October 1949 until I took another job within the company for the VP of Maint. I worked in radio shop for several months until there was a need for help on H marker and station radios. It was an experience that I'll never forget installing H's. Clyde would tell us, George Bradley and me, to find a location within certain perameters, make a deal with the owner of the land, make arrangements for power and we would be on our way. We would really have a job telling owners that we were installing a radio station for aircraft navigation. Through this period of ground radio Clyde would contact us via teletype to tell us if a problem existed at a station and one of us would drive or fly to repair. Met a lot of agents through those years. When I quit the ground radio business and returned to aircraft maintenance "radio" was out and "avionics" was in. Clyde was then Director of Avionics. There were a number of traveling radiomen. Clyde started, Lloyd Lockhart, Don Thoele, Syl Cuellar, George Bradley, Me, Martin Rink, Don Carlbom, Wayne Dikeman. I did it for 15 years. An xsperience one will never forget. -Leo Schuster (2/4/08) S. J.

August 23, 1946 The Mason City Globe-Gazette from Mason City, Iowa ยท Page 4 -https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/39153921/ (8/2/16) C CUELLAR Flight simulator technician seniority date of 11/4/75 per the Nov 1980 FL/IAM Seniority List. He is not shown on the May 1986 seniority list. I will asume he retired in 1980 when he turned 65 years old. I'm also assuming the initial C is a typo. -Jake Lamkins (8/3/16) FLacebook - FL Club FLight West: Syl Cuellar DEN flight simulator technician Syl Cuellar's memorial webpage has been updated: http://FAL-1.tripod.com/Syl_Cuellar.html Several items added but still need to know when he retired. -Jake Lamkins (8/3/16)
