In this version of the F-27 label, the turboprop flies head-on over an olive sky and a small farm scene of trees and buildings, above the slogan FIRST TO FLY THE FAIRCHILD F-27 and the West Coast Airlines name. The Seattle-based local service airline introduced the Fairchild F-27 in September 1958, the first airline to put the type into service. Founded in 1941, West Coast absorbed Empire Air Lines in 1952 and became part of Air West in 1968.
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.
