GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Start the day with a little airline history through this Pace Airlines ceramic coffee mug. Established in Winston-Salem in 1996, Pace began by flying executive charters for sports teams, entertainers, and corporate travelers. Its story expanded with Vacation Express leisure operations and later intersected with the Hooters Air brand. For aviation collectors, former travelers, and fans of the changing charter airline era, it offers a daily reminder that every carrier carries a story beyond its routes.
Pace Airlines was an American charter carrier based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, with its main base at Smith Reynolds Airport. Established in January 1996 as Piedmont Aviation Svcs d/b/a Pace Airlines, it received Federal Aviation Administration and U.S. Department of Transportation approval on March 26, 1996. Its initial focus was executive charters for sports teams, entertainers, and corporations, using an all-first-class Boeing 737-200. Piedmont Aviation Services merged with Hawthorne Aviation in July 1998 to become Piedmont Hawthorne Aviation. In 2000, new president Darrell Richardson expanded operations, including a Vacation Express leisure charter contract that began flying in 2001. Pace was sold to Pace Airlines, LLC and Pace Airlines II, LLC in December 2002; later that month, Robert H. Brooks purchased it and established the Hooters Air brand. Hooters Air began service in April 2003, while Pace retained operational and maintenance activity largely in Winston-Salem and the Hooters Air offices were in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The carrier flew Boeing 737, 757, and 767 aircraft and operated charter and scheduled-charter services. Plans for Hawaii flights did not proceed, and several routes were discontinued amid rising fuel costs and competition.
