This brings back a lot of memories. Still several missing that I worked for. Air New England, Precison Airlines, Five Star Airlines, Bar Harbor, and Allstar Airlines. Plus does anyone else remember the “Yellowbirds”? I think they were part of, or a gimick for Northeast.

Found your sight on Google and must say I loved reading the info and comments. The pictures brought back many memories from my childhood and often wondered what happened to some of these airlines that just seem to “disappear”….

Not sure if you want to split hairs here, but technically Allegheny Airlines is not defunt. While it was rebranded as UsAir, then UsAirways, part and parcel it’s still the core of UsAirways. Allegheny aquired Mohawk, PSA, Lake Central and Piedmont. 2nd point depending on who you talk to “east” or “west” either USairways is defunct (except the name) as America West bought them and saved them. Or America West is defunct as Usairways merged with them.

Interesting collection of old “friends” here. BTW, Muse Air’s demise was NOT bankruptcy. We were liquidated by Southwest Airlines. And yes, they did give us pink slips and told all of us to “hit the road”. (Contrary to their denials of ever ‘laying off’ anyone….

Thank you for your comment, Jerry. I think you’re referring to Allegheny Airlines, and there I was referring to its progression as USAir and then to US Air Express. US Airways still flies planes with the Allegheny logo on its tail, and I agree that it is not defunct. I hadn’t known about America West buying out US Airways, however. Thank you!
