In 1967 Conrad “Connie” Kilitta began a business carrying car parts using a twin engine Cessna 310 that he piloted himself. Over the years this simple start blossomed into a major airline – American International Airways Inc. AIA began flying in 1984 using Boeing 747, Lockheed L1011, Douglas DC8, Twin Beech and LearJet aircraft, for air freight, air ambulance and charter passenger operations. In 1990 and 1991 AIA flew 600 missions in support of DesertShield/Desert Storm (the US military name for the operation to remove Sadam Hussein from Kuwait). They ultimately became one of the world’s 25 largest airlines.In 1997, AIA merged with Kitty Hawk Inc. and Conrad Kalitta resigned to start Kalitta Leasing (buying, selling and leasing large aircraft).In April 2000, Kitty Hawk International (the former AIA) ceased operations. Kalitta decided to rescue it and the new airline, Kalitta Air, began operations in November 2000.Specification: Airline: American International Airways Aircraft: Lockheed L-1011 Ratio: 1:400 Size: 12.52*12.53*4.22cm (1in=2.54cm) Material: Diecast Weight: about 0.9kgpacking list: 1*Aircraft model 1*bracket SKU: AmericanL1011400 Categories: 1:400 Scales, Airlines, American Airlines, Country, Model Scales, United States
