{"product_id":"champion-air-car-coaster","title":"Champion Air Car Coaster","description":"GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKeep a small piece of airline history close on the road with this Champion Air car coaster. The carrier connected several chapters of U.S. aviation, from MGM Grand Air's premium California service to Front Page Tours' Minnesota charter operation. Known for Boeing 727 flights serving vacation customers and sports teams, Champion Air represented a specialized kind of passenger travel. Its operations ended in May 2008, giving collectors a clear date to remember while exploring the airline's distinctive story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChampion Air grew out of MGM Grand Air, a California airline established in 1987 that began flying in September of that year. MGM Grand Air operated premium scheduled service between Los Angeles and New York, a shuttle between Los Angeles and Orange County, and charter flights. As business jets gained popularity, the airline became unprofitable. Minnesota tour operator Front Page Tours bought its air operator's certificate in July 1995, changed the name to Champion Air, and standardized the fleet on Boeing 727 aircraft. In March 1997, Minnesota Twins owner Carl Pohlad and Northwest Airlines acquired the company from Richard Page. Champion Air moved to Minneapolis and shared facilities and resources with Northwest, while becoming a leading charter provider for Northwest-owned MLT Vacations. MLT traffic represented about 75 to 80 percent of Champion Air's operations. Northwest planned to move those passengers to its own flights during 2008, and also took over a charter contract serving 13 National Basketball Association teams. On March 31, 2008, president and CEO Lee Steele announced voluntary liquidation. High fuel costs and the aging 727-200 fleet were cited among the reasons. All flights ended May 31, 2008.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: 500;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e2.6'' × 2.6\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eWidth, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e2.60\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eHeight, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e2.60\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"4\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eThickness, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"4\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e0.30\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Made from 100% soapstone — naturally absorbent\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Available in 1, 2, or 4-piece sets with the same print on each\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- One-sided full-color print with a matte finish\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- 2.6″ × 2.6″ size fits most vehicle drink holders; notch for easy removal\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Removable “Made in China” sticker on the bottom\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Gently wipe the dirt or dust off with a clean, dry microfiber cloth\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Printify","offers":[{"title":"2.6'' × 2.6\" \/ 1pc","offer_id":54667242406172,"sku":"16731983723400275853","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.6'' × 2.6\" \/ 2pcs","offer_id":54667242438940,"sku":"69022991520874347168","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/2517\/5580\/files\/9428059000664155776_2048.jpg?v=1791340925","url":"https:\/\/ghostcorpapparel.com\/products\/champion-air-car-coaster","provider":"Ghost Corp Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
