This American Airlines subsidiary was specifically set up to provide service into one airport. It had its own name which reflected the fact that it was an AA service. The schedule I was able to view lists five flights a day to one destination and four flights a day to another destination from this particular airport. According to this schedule, both routes had flights from the morning into the evening hours. There may have been other destinations served as well but I do know of at least three. At least three piston engine aircraft were flown and there may have been as many as five. This feeder operation initiated their first service in the mid 70's and was still around during the early 80's.

There's a small display commemorating this service at the American Airlines C.R. Smith aviation museum located near DFW.

And we are still looking for the answers to the above four questions here.....
