HAL OSBORN
1967 - 1986
PILOT
DEN


I just found out 7:50pm; that Hal Osborn died today of a heart attack.
A friend of mine who is very close to Hal and Cheryl and I have known
for years, and was at my retirement party, called me a few minutes ago with this news.
I called Bob McCoy; telling him of this event, and he suggested
that I give you an E-Mail of this news. he will also be writing you, in
case I don't have your correct address.
I am raising a glass of scotch to the WEST as we speak.
Sorry to pass bad news to you.

Hal had recently turned 60, I believe last June.  He and I went
to work in 1966.  He was a super individual and will be missed.  His
wife's name is Cheryl.  I regret I don't have any more details.

Here is a shot of Hal Osborn's obit and photo sent to me by Captain George Graham.
A heavy smoker, he collapsed during a go on a treadmill.  He was only 60
and recently retired from the new Frontier.  We started at Frontier in
'67.  I was a month after him.  Hal was known as "Hal The Pal" he will
be missed.

Hal's first flight with Frontier was as F/O on 6/11/67.  He remaind with the
company until it's 'demise' in August, 1986.  He flew with Continental until
returning to the "new" Frontier Airlines in 1994.  His final flight for
Frontier (forced out by the FAA 'age 60' rule) was on July 20, 1998 when he
flew from SEA to DEN  on a/c #306, a 737-300, arriving to a colorful water
cannon salute.  I was priviledged to be on board for his last trip.

...just a person in the mix of the new Frontier, making history again; a much different time now.
I wish I could have been around when the old Frontier was in operation.  
I grew up in Southern California, and moved to Boulder in 1990.  
My dad actually went to high school in Calif with Vern Carlson - Pilot of the old Frontier.  
He lives in Boulder, and is a big runner.  Running all the time.  Nice fella.
I also had the opportunity to fly with Hal Osborn and John Landwehr in the late 1990s.  Great guys.

Hal died in 1999 of a heart attack - less than a year after retirement from F9.
Way too early.
