A recent generous donation has netted the Museum 19 new fleet list issues we did not previously have in the collection. These have just been digitized and posted to our Fleet Lists page, bringing us up to 100 editions!
The break-out of issues by decade right now is:
- 2000s 34 entries
- 1990s 34 entries
- 1980s 5 entries
- 1970s 2 entries
- 1960s 25 entries
So we are missing very few issues in the ’90s and ’00s -specific issues from those decades we are still looking for are:
- 2007 – April
- 2006 – January and April
- 2005 – October
- 2003 – October
- 2000 – July
- 1998 – January, April, and October
- 1992 – September
- 1991 – December
- 1989 – December
We are really short in the 1980s and 1970s – with only one Republic-issued list, and no official lists from North Central, Southern, or Hughes Airwest.
And of course, while Captain James Borden kept his NWA lists from the 1960s, we really hope to uncover similar documents from all the other predecessor carriers. Als0 – outside of the 2009-2010 entries, we do not have lists from the Airlink / Express carriers – these would be of high interest to aviation fans and researchers!
Our collection depends on contributions from friends and families – if you’re going through your basements or attics, please keep an eye open for company documents! And when you have materials to contribute, please contact our collections manager at bruce.kitt@northwestairlineshistory.org.
