Product Details & Size Guide
GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Introduce young aviation fans to the story of Mesaba Airlines, which began in Minnesota in 1944 with a Piper Cub carrying paper mill employees. The company grew from local beginnings into a regional carrier known for Northwest Airlink, Northwest Jetlink, and later Delta Connection service. This toddler tee brings that distinctive chapter of airline history into everyday family outings, playtime, and first trips to an aviation museum. It is a thoughtful pick for families who enjoy sharing the story of regional flight.
Mesaba Aviation was founded in 1944 by Gordy Newstrom in Coleraine, Minnesota, and began with a Piper Cub carrying paper mill employees between Grand Rapids and Minneapolis. Newstrom moved the company to Grand Rapids in 1950. The Halverson family bought it in 1973 and introduced scheduled service; the Swenson family acquired it in 1977 and took it public in 1982. In 1984, Mesaba began flying as Northwest Airlink, later adding service from Detroit and, in 1997, regional jets under the Northwest Jetlink name. It expanded its fleet with Saab 340 turboprops and Avro RJ85 jets, then faced financial pressure after Northwest Airlines entered bankruptcy in 2005. Mesaba filed for Chapter 11 that October and emerged in April 2007 as a Northwest subsidiary. After Northwest merged with Delta Air Lines, Mesaba flew as Delta Connection and, from 2011, as US Airways Express. Delta sold it to Pinnacle Airlines Corporation in 2010. Mesaba’s aircraft and personnel transferred to Pinnacle on January 4, 2012, forming part of the transition to Endeavor Air; its operating certificate was surrendered on July 31.
