Bert Hall was the Captain on Challenger flight 2 from Denver to Billings on that morning in 1947. I was the agent on duty in Cheyenne. The inbound radio transmissions went along these lines ... "Cheyenne, Challenger 2 Lone Tree at 06, 7500 VFR estimate on the ground at 16" "Roger Challenger 2 Lone Tree 06, 6500 VFR on the ground at 16" "Monday, I said 7500 not 6500. We are in an airplane not a submarine" I had listened but not heard ..... Lesson learned. -Bill Monday (8/5/10) To those of us who ever worked a One Man Operation in a Class "D" Station.......Seeing the name of Captain "Bert" Hall on the crew routing for one or several flights scheduled through your station for that day, always brought a huge sense of personal gratitude & euphoria . You the Station Agent knew that his flights would not give you a Station delay. You would make ground block time ( regardless of the actual time the flight was on your Ramp.)......And perhaps better than that, by the time the CV 580 airstair was lowered. Captain Hall......."Bert" was a already out of the Cockpit & in the front cargo pit, finding your baggage and freight and helping you load what you had to board. Later in my career, I thoroughly enjoyed greeting "Bert" either in the Denver Pilots Crew Room or elsewhere on the system wherever I might be stationed at the time. "Bert" always came across to me as being an articulate, polished gentleman, a true professional Pilot, and a marvelous credit to FAL wherever he went in the uniform of our company. -Bob Pearson (10/20/10)
