Wear a name connected to the changing story of western regional aviation with this Sierra Pacific Airlines polo shirt. Founded in 1970 as Trans Sierra Airlines, the company moved from small-aircraft beginnings to Mammoth Mountain winter service and later contract operations for a larger carrier. Its history links Hollywood Burbank, western routes, and a lasting Tucson base. A considered choice for aviation enthusiasts, airline-history collectors, and travelers who appreciate the local connections that helped define regional flight.
Founded in 1970 as Trans Sierra Airlines by Chris Condon and Allan Silliphant, Sierra Pacific Airlines took its later name in 1971 after receiving FAA permission to operate aircraft weighing more than 12,500 pounds. Its early base was Hollywood Burbank Airport, and its first aircraft included Piper Aztec and Cessna 402 twins. In 1973, a 44-passenger Convair 440 joined the fleet, and Mammoth Mountain Ski Area purchased the airline. During –1976 winter season, Sierra Pacific linked Mammoth Lakes with Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Fresno, using Convair 580 and Handley Page Jetstream turboprops; it also operated Twin Otters. Mammoth Mountain agreed in April 1978 to sell the airline to Tucson-based Mountain West Aviation, a deal completed in July. From 1986 to 1988, Sierra Pacific operated Convair 580s for Trans-Colorado Airlines on Continental Express flights from Denver and, briefly, Albuquerque. The airline later became wholly owned by the Sierra Pacific Group. Its history also includes a 1974 Convair 440 crash near Bishop, California, which killed all 36 people aboard. Sierra Pacific is based in Tucson and operates charter and sub-charter flights, while its earlier scheduled western U.S. service remains part of its regional aviation history.
