"And we have more beautiful birds inside" Something that couldn't be published in 2020! Thanks for sharing, that's a cool relic of the past.

AS has given this as a gift at numerous events starting years ago. It is a great “coffee table” book

For those not in Portland, looks like it's available via Amazon. Might pick up a copy there.

One thing I learned just paging through was the story on the Jet America acquisition. I didn't realize there had been a competing offer with Delta that Alaska beat out.

I'm the proud owner of one, which was the parting gift from the MVPG Advisory Board.

I brought this book for my office years ago. A great book with official history of the airlines.

I've got a copy on my bookshelf. It's great to page through now and then, would recommend.
