The Legacy Carriers – Part One – August 07, 2009

I am beginning a new series on the Legacy Carriers. By definition, a legacy carrier was an airline that was operating in 1978 when Airline Deregulation was codified. The number of carriers that have disappeared into the sunset since then is amazing. Some were dissolved, and some were absorbed by other carriers, but the fact that they are gone does not mean they are forgotten. As always, I would like all aviators to connect with their roots and one of the ways they can do that is by using the “Third Dimension Blog” as a resource.
