___ PCN FLIGHT WEST is sponsored by the Pilot Communication Network and is a service of the PCN provided for the Delta Pilot Retired family of pilot groups. Flight West was started and is maintained to accomplish two main goals. After we become aware of a colleague who has Flown West, 1. We aim to produce a “timely” notice sent to our community that allows for support and interaction from our group toward the grieving family of our friend and colleague. 2. Then, we aim to “archive” that notice on our Flown West Blogspot as a lasting accessible place of Dignity and Honor of our colleague for family legacy and posterity. Contributor contact info is generally removed before posting (unless requested otherwise).

Notification with the passing of WAL pilot Captain George Arthur Chapman Jr..  Born/raised in the Los Angeles area, I believe Captain Chapman was nearing his 90th birthday at the time of his passing.  Captain Chapman joined Western Airlines 01-13-1953.  Per the January 1978 issue of Western’s Flight Times, he was listed as Assistant Manager-Second Officers (DC-10), Los Angeles.  I believe he spent the majority if not all of his career based LAX.  Captain Chapman had most recently resided at 7432 Donna Ave.,  Reseda, CA 91335  ...  (818) 342-1706.
The Chapman family advices us that a memorial service will be held at a later date. 
If anyone has more information to share, please let us know and we can update our blogspot at
 
Thank you,

For  those who knew him:
 
One of our Western Airlines stalwarts passed away today.
 
George Arthur (Art) Chapman died peacefully at home today with his son Robert in attendance.  Art had been failing due to basic old age for the past year or so and during the past  few months, he was unable to recognize visitors.
 
Robert informs me that he plans to have some sort of remembrances celebration at their home in Reseda some time within the next month, details to be forthcoming.

    I am sad to hear of MR CHAPMANs passing--- I grew up at 7431 DONNA AVE and knew the Chapman family very well-- "ART" was a true gentleman and a very very intelligent human being.. May he rest in peace.
