As a pilot and all-around fan of the airline industry's history, I have a fondness for airlines that have flown off into the sunset. Thinking about a defunct airline makes me think about the people who put in the "blood, sweat, and tears" to make the airline "fly" for as long as possible. I also have a soft spot for little commuter airlines that flew those small "puddle-jumpers" that took people from their homes to bigger cities nearby.
As a fan of business history, this was great to read.
