Share a memorable aviation story with young fans through this New York Airways kids tee. The airline began passenger service in 1953, connecting New York airports with Manhattan heliports by helicopter. Its evolving fleet helped make these short city journeys a remarkable feature of mid-century travel. New York Airways also holds an important place in aviation history through Perry H. Young, who became the first African American airline pilot in 1957. A fun choice for curious kids and family aviation outings.
New York Airways was founded in 1949 as a mail and cargo carrier serving the New York City area. Headquartered at LaGuardia Airport, it began scheduled passenger service on July 8, 1953, and may have been the first scheduled helicopter airline to carry passengers in the United States. Its early passenger fleet included Sikorsky S-55 helicopters, followed by S-58s in 1956 and Boeing Vertol V-44s in 1958. In 1962, the airline introduced Boeing Vertol 107-II Turbocopters and later operated Sikorsky S-61 helicopters. Passenger services connected airports including JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark with Manhattan heliports, the Pan Am Building rooftop, and other regional destinations. The airline also flew fixed-wing Twin Otter aircraft. Its Pan Am Building rooftop service began in December 1965, ended in 1968, and briefly resumed in 1977. Perry H. Young made his first flight for the airline on February 5, 1957, becoming the first African American airline pilot. After the 1977 rooftop heliport accident and the 1979 oil crisis, the company ceased flying on April 18, 1979, and filed for bankruptcy on May 18.
