Keep Wings West Airlines close at hand with a business card holder inspired by the carrier's place in California aviation history. From its first commuter flight in 1979 between Santa Monica and Mammoth Lakes, Wings West grew into a regional network and later operated under the American Eagle name. Its story reflects the expansion of service between smaller communities and major hubs. A considered desk accessory for airline collectors, aviation professionals and admirers of corporate history.
Founded by Mark Morro and William Hirsch, Wings West began scheduled commuter service in 1979, flying Cessna 402 twin-prop aircraft between California destinations. Its first flight, on November 11, 1979, ran from Santa Monica to Mammoth Lakes. The airline expanded its California network and added service to Arizona, operating aircraft including Beechcraft C99s and Fairchild Swearingen Metroliners. It became publicly traded in 1983. In 1986, Wings West began operating under the American Eagle name through a code-sharing agreement with American Airlines; AMR Corp. purchased the airline the following year. Its American Eagle service connected regional communities with hubs including San Jose, Los Angeles and San Francisco, using aircraft such as Convair 580s, Metroliners and Saab 340Bs. The airline was headquartered at McChesney Field in San Luis Obispo County, California. In 1996, Mary B. Jordan was named president. In 1998, Wings West merged with Simmons Airlines and Flagship Airlines into AMR Eagle Holdings Corporation, forming American Eagle Airlines, now known as Envoy Air.
