Grounded: National Airlines

Описание: In our first visit to the United States we take a look at National Airlines, the late 1990s airline based in Las Vegas. They say that in Vegas the house always wins but this story proves that it is not always the case...

There have been several "National Airlines" in the USA over the years, the original operated from 1934 until it was acquired by Pan Am in 1980. In 1983 there was a very short lived attempt at using the name when United Air Carriers tried to use the name on scheduled services, these never materialised and the name was handed back to Pan Am. The early 1990s saw a very short-lived attempt using a DC9 before the National Airlines seen in this episode. Following on from this Murray Air which was founded in 1985 and later known as National Air Cargo would eventually take up the name National Airlines and is still in operation today.

The audio for this episode was recorded in July 2019, it was the final recording of a 3 hour session so I do apologise for any fluctuations in my voice and any word-drops or mispronunciations, I have tried to edit these out or correct them in post production. In future I will be doing one episode at a time and hopefully my methods have improved sine last year :)

Thank you for watching, I really appreciate your feedback and suggestions for future episodes.
