The Northliner Foundation

The Northliner Foundation is dedicated to providing education & scholarships to future commercial pilots. We strive to keep Herman the Duck's legacy alive.

The Northliner Foundation is always looking for volunteers and sponsors. The Convair 580 was the local workhorse of Republic and North Central Airlines. Republic Airlines was absorbed into Northwest Airlines in 1986. Convairs continued flying with Northwest until 1989. In 1986 Republic was the Nation's 9th largest airline. Republic was formed in 1978 through the merger of North Central Airlines and Southern Airways. Additionally, Hughes Airwest also became apart of Republic in 1983.

Oh the things you can do with cameras and flight!

Haha I joke I joke. One of the perks of being a pilot is that you don’t have to take work home with you normally. You get to just enjoy the days off you have with family and friends. With that said, we do have to keep our knowledge of the airplane up to speed at all times and that requires staying in the books when we need to brush up on our knowledge. A pilot is never done studying or reviewing things until their career is over. We aren’t required to memorize every single thing about the airplane because that would be thousands of pages worth. I learned in the Air Force that if you don’t know the answer to a question, know where to find the answer. We have access to many different documents/pubs that help walk us through any issues or additional procedures we need to do. Also, our maintenance personnel are amazing and a quick call away to help us with questions and solving problems. 09/25/2024
