Aerodynamics (Great Lakes Jet Express) Metal Bottle Opener
Product Details & Size Guide
Celebrate Aerodynamics and its short-lived Great Lakes Jet Express identity with a bottle opener inspired by regional airline history. The company stepped beyond charter operations to launch scheduled Essential Air Service flights in 2016, first serving Youngstown and Chicago, then connecting Denver with Pierre and Watertown. Its 50-seat ERJ-145 service and the later transfer of routes to California Pacific give collectors a memorable story of changing brands and regional connections. A fitting addition for airline fans and aviation-themed gatherings.
Aerodynamics Inc., also known as ADI, was an American charter airline based in Kennesaw, Georgia. Its website claimed the company was founded in 1959. After filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization in August 2013, it emerged with financing and restructuring support from Business Aircraft Group CEO M.L. (Mike) Hoyle, who later divested his interest. John and Janet Beardsley purchased ADI in 2015. In 2016, the airline began scheduled Essential Air Service flights under the Great Lakes Jet Express name and a codeshare agreement with Great Lakes Airlines. Its first scheduled route linked Youngstown, Ohio, and Chicago on July 1, but service ended August 17. Flights between Denver and Pierre, South Dakota, continuing to Watertown, began August 15, 2016. Great Lakes Airlines suspended operations in March 2018, while some ADI flights continued. California Pacific Airlines purchased ADI on May 29, 2018, including four aircraft and the Pierre and Watertown contract. The airline briefly operated those routes as California Pacific before the company suspended West Coast operations in December 2018 and its Essential Air Service operations in January 2019. ADI operated Embraer ERJ-145 regional jets with 50 seats.
