Remember Air Carolina, the Florence-based carrier whose story began under the Florence Airlines name. This Air Carolina Hoodie / Sweatshirt celebrates its 1975 identity change and its evolving network of southeastern routes, including service linking Florence and Charlotte. The airline's use of small propeller aircraft captures a period when regional carriers connected communities beyond major hubs. Made for casual wear, travel days, and aviation history gatherings, it offers collectors a wearable connection to local airline heritage.
Air Carolina began as Florence Airlines, a regional carrier based in Florence, South Carolina. The company was certified on December 5, 1967, with Sheffield P. Wilds as its first president. In 1973, it operated three daily scheduled passenger and cargo flights between Florence and Charlotte, North Carolina, using an Aero Commander 500B and two Piper Cherokee Sixes. A Piper Cherokee 140 was also used for pilot training between 1973 and 1976. By early 1975, William E. Smith was president, and the schedule had been reduced to twice-daily passenger service between Florence and Charlotte. On March 30, 1975, the airline adopted the Air Carolina name and served Atlanta, Greenwood and Anderson, as well as Charlotte, with Piper Navajo Chieftains, Britten-Norman Islanders and a Twin Otter. By 1981, passenger service linked Charlotte, Hickory, North Carolina, and Florence. The fleet then included several Piper types: Navajo Chieftains, a Navajo, an Aztec, a Seneca and a Lance. The airline was later absorbed by Atlantis Airlines in 1980, a date that precedes the 1981 service description in the article.
