  • Thirty Years of Lockheed Vegas
    1 THIRTY YEARS OF LOCKHEED VEGAS by Chalmers A. Johnson AAHS Journal, Vol. 2, No. 1 - Spring 1957 Thirty years ago this year the first of a long line of superb aircraft bearing the Lockheed name made its debut in Los Angeles. This was the high-wing, strutless, monocoque-fuselage Vega. Developed from this aircraft was the mail-carrying Air Express, the streamlined Sirius and Altair and the hard-working passenger carrier, the Orion, The Vega was, however, the most famous of the wooden Lockheeds, It spread the name of what is today one of the giants of the American aircraft industry throughout the world. Mated with the famous Pratt and Whitney Wasp engine, the Lockheed Vega probably made more pioneering and historically important flights than any other single model of aircraft. This was due to its clear superiority of design and the craftsmanship incorporated into its construction. Today, there are about a half-dozen Vegas still in existence. They bear testimony to the ruggedness of this aircraft. The following report is concerned with a detailed history of the Lockheed Vega, It tells better than any description the fantastic history of one of America's most famous types of aircraft. It will be found that a large number of these aircraft found their way into our neighboring country, Mexico. In 1929, the American owned and founded Corporacion Aeronautica de Transportes (CAT) had the world's fastest airline. It was equipped with some of the first Wasp-Vegas, That they performed so well during the years of hangar-less life in the sun and dust of Torreon is a remarkable fact.

Project: Dynamic modelling of fares and passenger numbers for major U.S. carriers ∗ Anthony Martin and Maximilian Martin (supervised by Steve Lawford)y Department of Economics and Econometrics, ENAC, France. March 13, 2010 Abstract The purpose of this project was to develop econometric models that will enable us to describe and forecast the evolution of air fares and passenger numbers for the 7 largest U.S. carriers. The principal data source was the Department of Transport's DB1B database, which contains extensive information on airline tickets sold in the US. The modelling was first conducted on the basis of pure statistical models, and we later introduced variables with real economic data, such as the air carrier's financial situation and data on the U.S.

  • The Varney Air Gram an Introduction
    The Varney Airgram An Introduction (Part 1) Stamp Club Program November 2020 Joe Voice A Varney Airgram (front) This program is being presented in two installments. The first provides the background needed to understand the origin of the Varney Airgram. The second will cover details associated with the Airgram itself. Vickie recommended I show you a Varney Airgram on the first two pages of the first installment so you could see what this is all about. You don’t see a Varney Airgram again until the second installment. A Varney Airgram (back) I’m dedicating this program to Howard Ness (Spokane Club) who introduced me to the Varney Airgram. His clothesline presentation of his Airgram collection given at the Moses Lake Philatelic Symposium quite a few years ago sparked my interest in them. My interest resulted from their connection to CAM-5 which I was collecting and researching. I started to accumulate them. That accumulation has grown enough to result in this study of them. My next project will be to design and build a multi-frame philatelic exhibit that presents what I have learned about the Varney Airgram. US Post Office Air Mail Service Inaugurated an experimental airmail route on May 15, 1918: • Mail was flown between New York, NY and Washington, DC with a stopover in Philadelphia, PA. • The Army cooperated in the venture by providing both the flying equipment and pilots. • On August 12 the Post Office took over the entire operation of the route furnishing its own aircraft and pilots. The short 218 mile distance covered did not permit any substantial time- savings advantage over railroad mail service.

Craig, Chair Dr. Wendy S. Beckman, Committee Member Dedicated to my wife, the woman who left everything 7300 miles away to facilitate my success. She has been supportive and helpful, To the man and woman who sent their hearts 7300 miles with me, my father and my mother. And to my little princesses, Joud and Seba. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I feel one or two pages are not enough to show gratitude and appreciation of who helped and supported me in this journey. First, after thanking God, I would thank and recognize this great nation, the U.S nation, for the warmness, openness and hospitality toward international students. I would also thank and recognize my country, Saudi Arabia, for providing me with this opportunity. I also would seize the opportunity to recognize Prince Fahd Bin Abdullah the Ex-President of the General Authority of Civil Aviation for supporting me in this move. Prince Fahd, your response to my scholarship request was a great moral in supporting youth in Saudi Arabia. Secondly, I’m very sure that without my parent’s prayers and support I would not have a step forward. Thank you, Mr. Abdurrahman Alwehaibi and Mrs. Latifa Alarfaj.
