Vintage 1968 Air West Airlines Job Application Packet Memorabilia 3 Piece Lot For Sale

Up for sale is a rare, historically fascinating 3-piece lot of original, uncompleted employment materials from the short-lived regional carrier, Air West.Formed in July 1968 from a three-way merger of Bonanza Air Lines, Pacific Air Lines, and West Coast Airlines, Air West existed for less than two years before being purchased by Howard Hughes to become Hughes Airwest. Because of this incredibly brief operational window, corporate items bearing the original Air West name and logo are highly collectible and scarce.What is Included in this 3-Piece Lot:
