This navy roundel lets the Southern Airways script speak for itself: a flowing golden S rises into a soaring gull, with "Airways" set in gold capitals below. The Atlanta-based carrier, founded in 1944 by Frank Hulse and Ike Jones, called itself the "Route of the Aristocrats" and grew from Beechcraft 18s and DC-3s into a jet airline flying the McDonnell Douglas DC-9. It merged with North Central Airlines on 1 July 1979 to create Republic Airlines.
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.
