The cool plane museum volunteer gave me instructions from Northwest Airlines on how to fix and start one up 😏

Flying will be the easy part afterwards. 😌

Mugshot Monday - Vintage "NWA" coffee mug made exclusively for Northwest Airlines by AMKO International with Kenyan Earl Grey tea by JUSTEA

Who remembers flying NWA?

The Minnesota based international airline known as Northwest Airlines officially merged with Delta Airlines back in 2010.

Marketing executives chose to keep the Delta branding, so the 'NWA' brand was officially retired.

I bet you're thinking I lifted this cute tiny little cup (it's only ~3.5" tall with a 2.5" diameter) from a flight back in the old days. I wish I had a story like that to tell.

I actually bought this cup at a thrift store a few months back when it brought back memories of flying out to California for Pearson family reunions when I was a teenager.

Back then, you'd get a complementary meal that you'd eat on your compact pull-down tray space. And you'd get complementary coffee or complementary soda or complementary snacks.

Those days are long gone! These days, you're lucky if anything complimentary is included with the purchase of your ticket.

Also gone are the ceramic cups. These days, coffee is served in a "modern" paper coffee cup.

Maybe I can get a cup of coffee in a ceramic cup if I fly first class? I don't fly very often, so I could be wrong about that.

When's the last time you had a cup of coffee in a ceramic cup at 35,000 feet in the air?

Btw, I decided to have some delicious Earl Grey by JUSTEA instead of coffee because this cup is so dang tiny. Yum. Cheers! 🤩 ☕️

First Flight - Air Mail AM-77 Burns to Boise

I learned something I never knew because of this envelope.

In the fall of 1959 West Coast Airlines added service to Burns and Lakeview.

The Kelley Act, also known as the The Air Mail Act of 1925 was the start of Air Mail service in the USA. This was referred to as a Contract Air Mail route or CAM. CAM 1's initial flight was on July 1, 1926 between New York and Boston Massachusetts with an interim stop in Hartford Connecticut.

Postal mail covers carried on the inaugural flight between each point of landing and take-off are collectible and are known as CAM-1 covers. Source: aerodacious.com

West Coast Airlines was awarded contract AM-77 for the Northwest originating out of Seattle. By this time the contracts had been revamped and the C of CAM was dropped. The first flight for AM-77 was on December 5th, 1946 and was designated 77S1.

Over the years additional airmail routes were approved and added. According to the Airpost Journal of September, 1959 additional extensions of AM-77 were granted. In an article by William R. Ware the additional service locations and routes are detailed.

On September 15, 1959 the inaugural flight was made and routes 77E59, East to Boise and 77W59 West to Lakeview made their maiden flights using a Fairchild F-27 turboprop aircraft. A year previous to this flight West Coast Airlines purchased the first Fairchild F-27 for use in the United States. Depending on the source West Coast had 13 or 14 of these planes over the years.
