RIP Captain Hugh. Donna Harrison Hugh was certainly one of the truly nice guys to fly with. Sad to hear of his passing. Jake Lamkins Hugh's death is the first in the FLamily I've heard caused by COVID-19. Trish Swanson-Hawk Prayers for his family and many friends. Reva Burke Prayers to family Kayla Naima Condolences to his family. RIP Hugh Billy Walker I met Hugh Thornton July 5, 1967. He was second oldest, I was second youngest in our new-hire class at Frontier, good ol' Frontier! We'd lost track of Hugh in recent years. I found him in Canton, TX but I was too late. Hugh was alive but dementia had prevented communication. Hugh was a fine pilot and one of the really good fellows. I picture him mentally sharp and grinning as he makes his westerly flight in smooth air and a bright star to steer by. (10/24/20) Janice Gassett It was an honor flying with you sir...RIP. (10/25/20) Henry Rankin Very kind man! Jan Lefler RIP Captain. Condolences to his family and freinds. Ed Woodson Enjoyed flying with him. A real nice guy.
