~~Deregulation introduced the opportunity for loads of airlines to start operations in a way that had never been possible before. Usually I organise my US collection by airline but for the 1980s and 1990s I instead have two shelves dedicated to the bloodbath of the immediate post-dereg era. These shelves are made up of startups and Trunk models (especially for Eastern, United and American) that don't fit in the by airline spaces.
This overflow area is itself now not far off overflowing with only a couple of spots free. I've recently created some simple backdrops using the airline logos so thought I'd share some piccies.
Here's the 1980s shelf:
The left side is for the startups including Air Florida, New York Air, Midway, PeoplExpress, Muse Air, Midwest Express and others:
The right side is the Trunks overflow primarily - UA and EA:
Into the 1990s we have:
Not so many new startups in this period with just Kiwi Int, ValuJet and Frontier represented here:
Reno Air is the only startup on the right side - also spot my only 777:
