Virtual Airlines
"Top Banana in the West!"
.....Last

F-27A
DC-9-30
B727-200
Mission Statement:

This Virtual Airline is dedicated to the 4000+ men and women that made Hughes Airwest one of the leading "regional" airlines in the United States during the 1970's prior to the airline industry being deregulated by the federal government.

We will do everything possible to re-create the proper aircraft, routes, hubs and timetables used by the former "real world" Hughes Airwest. Many of the items used in this virtual airline and throughout this site were made with the cooperation of former HAW employees, especially my father, Gerald D. Belford retired DC-10 Captain.

The Summa Corporation first announced their plans in 1979 to sell Hughes Airwest. In the fall of 1980, the assets were acquired by Republic Airlines.   Northwest Airlines then purchased Republic Airlines in 1986.  THE REST, AS THEY SAY, IS HISTORY!
