DENVER — An Arvada man was joined by special copilots — his sons — for his final flight before retirement after 42 years as an airline pilot.

“They've all had an interest in aviation. And I never pushed it, but it's one of those things that’s either in your blood or it isn't. It takes a special person to live out of a suitcase,” Mihalcin said.“Right now, I have about 35,000 hours of flying,” he told Denver7. “Landed in 17 different countries outside of America — 226 cities of those countries — and then all of America.

“I delivered the first five airplanes for Frontier. So I've had a lot of experience with helping them develop the company when it started. And it was a great career,” he said. “Final flight with favorite copilot and favorite captain. The other one, well his wife decided to have a baby,” Mihalcin said in a video from the cockpit on that final flight.
