What defunct airlines have you flown?
I was thinking the other day of all the late, great airlines I used to fly. I miss a lot of them and, in fact, still "fly" the vintage birds in MS Flight Sim. I thought a fun thread might be memories of airlines we've flown that no longer with us.
Okay, here goes my list:
North Eastern (the "yellow birds")
National Airlines (probably my favorite. "Fly me")
Pan Am
TWA
Eastern
Piedmont
Ozark
New York Air (free bagels and an NY Times on each flight)
Arrow Air (I don't miss them!)
ATA
Spirit
Song

Carnival (732/EWR-FLL)
the Braniff incarnation that was around in the early 90s (727/EWR-FLL)

I also flew Canadian's 732 (YUL-ORD) after the merger with Air Canada, but before anything was integrated, much like how legacy HP is now in US's network.
Does Northwest count yet?
