Air Holiday

Does anybody remember -- or have they ever flown a charter service out of MKE, LAN and Ft. Wayne called Air Holiday in the 1970's?

I was just 8 years old then, but I remember my dad signing up for this charter service in 1971 and that was my first trip on their DC-6B.

The deal was that if you bought a charter membership for $1000 (hey, that was serious $$ in '71), then you got 6 free seats a year anywhere that they fly.

My first trip was Mexico and my second was Vegas.

They went out of business when they blew an engine on take off on their new 707 out of Hawaii. I was on that flight. It wasn't more than about a year after that before they went under.

Anybody else remember Air Holiday?
