A high-wing turboprop crosses a rosy sky above the words FIRST TO FLY THE FAIRCHILD F-27, with WEST COAST AIRLINES on a cream band at the foot. The boast was true: the Seattle-based carrier put the F-27 into service in September 1958, the first airline to fly the type, and the first U.S. local service airline to use turbine airliners. West Coast later merged with Pacific and Bonanza to form Air West in 1968. Airlines handed out stickers like this one for passengers' suitcases.
The bag is made from 10-ounce canvas of 80% recycled cotton and 20% cotton. The recycled fibers are collected from garment-cutting waste and then intertwined with cotton for added strength and durability. Self-fabric handles. Dimensions: 15.75" h x 15.25" w; approx. 240 cubic inches.
