In other posts, I notice a lot of old-timers kicking back in their rocking chairs with their drool cups, thinking about the airlines that are no more.
A lot of folks seem to remember Peoples Express. Do you have any other memories about airlines that bit the dust that you would like to share?

Oh yes, People's was fantastic for the starving student.

I'll start. I remember flying on Air Florida between DCA and MIA about 6 months before their terrible tragedy.

I've memories from the opposite side of this. My dad was working downtown in DC at USDA when this happened. It was snowing terribly and he was VERY late for dinner and nowhere to be found or heard from. Of course the media was not helping with this one bit and refusing to rule out whether or not any cars had been hit and taken off into the Potomac and were just milking it for all they could.
LSS: Dad walks in the house @ around 22:30, well over 5 hours late, but home nonetheless,himself and car intact.
