In honor of our 40th anniversary, every week this year we are highlighting one of our past exhibitions. In 2015, we presented “Catch Our Style: California Regional Airlines 1950s–1980s” which featured objects from California Airlines such as PSA (Pacific Southwest Airlines), Air California (later AirCal), and Pacific Air Lines, Air West, and Hughes Airwest.
