4) Golden West Airlines, nonstop from LAX, FAT, and SFO; direct service from a few other California cities.

5) Paradise Airlines (not to be confused with Air Paradise, or Paradise Island Airlines). Don't know much about this carrier, but on 3/1/64 Flight 901A, a Lockheed L-049 arriving from San Jose, crashed in inclement weather, killing all aboard (81 pax and 4 crew).
