New page: Mid-South Airways

7/18/2015

Comments

 
One of the great joys of having this website is learning about long-forgotten airlines such as this one. Mid-South Airways brought airline service to off-the-beaten-path towns such as Sandersville, Swainsboro, and Vidalia, Georgia. Timetable scans are from the amazing collection Don Henchel, a man who has some of the rarest and most obscure airline timetables I've seen.
