Biographical or Historical Note

In March 1947, Southwest Airways (changed to Pacific Airlines in 1958) operated a DC-3 out of Sonoma County Airport as the first scheduled commercial flight. In later years, this airline operated Martin 202s and Martin 404s and occasionally the Fairchild F-27 flew service from the Airport. In 1968, Pacific Airlines was merged into Hughes Airwest. The aircraft in the image was still registered in 2017 and based in Elko, Nevada.
