RC (NWA) Capt. William T. Engelking , 1922-2013

Belated notification....this is an ALPA reported death that we had not previously been made aware of.  The ALPA issue month shows when the death was reported. 

Below is what information I could find for (NWA) Capt. William T. Engelking.  Captain Engelking’s obituary notes that he flew for Republic Airlines.  It appears that he would have retired before their merger with Northwest Airlines.  The obituary may still be viewed online at http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/azcentral/obituary.aspx?n=william-t-engelking-bill&pid=163794569 

 

Additional information and/or corrections are always appreciated.

Thank you,
