AirCal Airlines

AirCal (Air California) was the airlines that Orange County called its own. It flew out of Orange County International Airport, before they renamed it to John Wayne Airport. Every summer during the 1970's and 1980's I flew aboard AirCal on my way to Seattle to visit my dad.
It was kind of cool to know that Orange County had its own airline service.
There was also "Hughes AirWest", which flew these ugly yellow jetliners out of Orange County also. I think PSA also flew out of OC.
Since then, all these airlines have died.
But you can buy up all kinds of AirCal and Air California memorabilia on eBay...
