Frontier served most of Montana's major cities over the years, but was strongest in eastern Montana. Its network included a long, puddle-jumper circuit along the Hi-Line that lasted until the late 1970s ... long after many other major airlines had abandoned routes like that. This sticker probably dates form the late 1950s or so, and is a classic piece of period graphic design.

My father flew Frontier several times in the late 60's early 70's.He said one of his most memorable flights the rear door tried to come open and the stewardess held it shut until they landed.He said you never knew what was gonna happen with those old D.C. 3 's.But all in all they were very convienient for eastern Montana points south
ReplyDeleteGrowing up in northeastern Montana I use to fly Frontier from Wolf Point and Sidney on a regular basis when I was going to University. It was a great service with the DC-3 and on larger routes the Convair.
ReplyDeleteGreat memories! I've never flown on either a Convair or a DC-3 ... I need to figure out how to do that, before it's too late.
ReplyDeleteMy father Art (PAT) Key worked for Frontier in Wolf Point and Glasgow 1963, 1964ish. DC-3's is all I used the fly on in the 60's.
ReplyDeleteI got to ride Frontier several times in its last few years, and I thought it was a fine airline. But not a DC-3 into Wolf Point, of course ... that would have really been something!
