Product Details & Size Guide
GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Celebrate an independent airline with a story shaped by ambition, changing routes, and a fast-moving era in U.S. aviation. Presidential Airways launched flights between Washington Dulles and Boston Logan in 1985, later serving through Continental Express, Pan Am Express, and United Express arrangements. This men's sport polo shirt brings that distinctive history into an everyday wardrobe and makes a considered choice for airline enthusiasts, aviation-history fans, and collectors drawn to the late 1980s.
Presidential Airways was founded in 1985 by Harold J. (Hap) Pareti, a former People Express Airlines officer. Its first Boeing 737-200 flights linked Washington Dulles International Airport in Northern Virginia with Boston Logan, beginning October 10, 1985. The airline expanded its destinations and, in 1986, merged with the original Colgan Air. Its fleet grew to include British Aerospace BAe 146-200 jets and a small number of de Havilland Canada Dash 8 turboprops. As expansion became difficult to sustain, Presidential shifted into feeder and contract operations: Continental Express service in 1987, Pan Am Express service in 1987, and United Express service in 1988, through agreements with those airlines. A proposed mini-hub at Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport never materialized amid financial difficulties. Presidential filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on October 26, 1989, ended operations on December 5, and its assets were liquidated. Near its closure, the airline operated a varied fleet that included Jetstream commuter aircraft, Beechcraft 1900s, BAe 146 jets, and a Boeing 737. Its aircraft appeared in several liveries, reflecting its changing operating arrangements and airline partnerships.
