Give notes, plans, and ideas a connection to California airline history. Air California grew from a 1965 proposal for better service between Orange County and San Francisco into a carrier that began flying in 1967. It added California routes, expanded after deregulation, and adopted the AirCal name in 1981. The airline joined American Airlines in 1987, leaving a recognizable story of local beginnings and regional growth. This spiral notebook is a thoughtful desk companion for aviation enthusiasts and collectors.
Air California began with a December 1965 proposal for better air service between Orange County and San Francisco. Incorporated on April 12, 1966, it started flying on January 16, 1967, from Orange County Airport, now John Wayne Airport, using Lockheed Electra aircraft. The California intrastate carrier soon added routes to San Jose and Oakland, then expanded its fleet and destinations. Its early years included two proposed mergers with Pacific Southwest Airlines that did not go forward. From 1970, the airline was controlled by Westgate-California Corporation, which entered bankruptcy in 1974; Air California nevertheless became profitable from 1973. It expanded beyond California after federal airline deregulation, adding Reno in 1978. On April 6, 1981, under new ownership, it adopted the AirCal name and a new visual identity. Its network eventually reached cities including Chicago, Seattle, Anchorage, and Vancouver. American Airlines completed its purchase on May 1, 1987, and AirCal merged into American on July 1. In 2015, American added an AirCal-inspired aircraft to its heritage livery series.
