Peoples' Express. Went RT SFO to Brussels for 99 USD each way in December,1984 in a 747 with 550 passengers--not a trip for the claustrophobic. Served us sandwiches, chips and fruit in little baskets with red and white checkered napkins. They forgot to put the videos on board.

North Central, based in the Twin Cities. I worked for them part-time during my final year of college. During that year, they merged with Southern, based in Atlanta, to form Republic which then, in turn, became part of Northwest.

I've flown since 1952. Let me add Capital Airlines and Tag Airlines from the top of my head. I'll come up with many more not mentioned above.<BR>

I think the point of this was to make some of us feel old. I remember 6 of your list, plus Allegheny and Piedmont, also PBA (Provincetown-Boston Airlines, which also used to service Naples -Miami-Key West).<BR>And also the famous old Island Airlines which flew from Port Clinton, Ohio to the islands of Kelly and Put-in-Bay in Lake Erie. They used old Ford trimotor planes. Lest you think I'm even older than I am -- I last flew that airline in the early 70's.<BR>But my favorite is Spantex -- operated in Spain to Tangiers. It sounds like a plane powered with a rubber band, which I think it was. As it took off, they passed around a bowl of chewing gum so your ears wouldn't pop.

Mohawk Airlines. Our motto "we'll fly planes nobody else would dare"

Ozark spelled backwards is Krazo. I used to fly them a lot, and it was apt...

Ah yes, and lets not forget the most famous of them all, Air America, that wonderful airline flown by spooks. I logged lots of miles with them in Asia in the mid-60s.

I made reservations for my bosses on most of those airlines. My first flight was on Pan Am in the mid-50s.

Mohawk, which merged into Allegheny which merged into US Air which then swallowed Piedmont. *BURP*<BR><BR>The current National Airlines is not the original "Fly me" one.
