Interested in more than 1 of my aviation poster designs, or looking to buy more than 1 copy of this poster? Check out my combinable "BULK DISCOUNTS" below! This poster is an attractive representation of National Airlines, a short-lived Las Vegas-based airline which operated between 1999-2002. A graphic image of a National 757-200 is shown amongst various memorabilia from the airline's short and proud history. Here is a brief history of this carrier I have written elsewhere: National Airlines, which bought the National Airlines name off of bankrupt Pan Am(who the original National merged with) in 1998, was a Las Vegas(LAS) based 757 start-up. Unlike most start-up airlines, National Airlines competed with class, comfort, and amenities rather than cut-throat low pricing. The 757 fleet offered a 2-class service, with at least a nice snack service on even the shortest flights in first class, served on fine china with high-quality silverware. The airline also offered passengers the option of having National forward their bags to many of the strip Casinos so that the passengers could simply head straight to the strip and skip the baggage claim. Flights began with 2 daily flights to Chicago-Midway(MDW) and 4 to Los Angeles(LAX). The airline grew very quickly, and by the end of 1999, flights were added to Dallas\Ft. Worth(DFW), Philadelphia(PHL), New York(JFK), and San Francisco. Almost all flights were operated daily, and San Francisco was operated with an aggressive 5x daily schedule. The airline would continue growing, adding more cities like EWR and MIA with a fleet of 15 aircraft by the end of the year 2000. The 757 fleet wore the same livery, but N521NA was painted by Aeromexico, who lacked the proper color for the tail. Aeromexico technicians attempted to mix several shades of paint for the proper tail color but ended up with a purple result. The aircraft was nicknamed "Barney" after the purple dinosaur, and was repainted to the standard livery in 2001. The attacks of 9\11 crippled National Airlines as it relied heavily on leisure travel and the desire of passengers to spend money in a good economy. The airline attempted to find enough money to keep flying, but suspended all operations in 2002, ferrying almost the entire fleet to the Mojave desert in a single afternoon. A great find for an "avgeek", or any former National Airlines pilot, flight attendant, or employee!

Information about the poster and shipping\printing process: Posters are made-to-order and printed at a large and reputable printing shop in PORTRAIT ORIENTATION using a deep matte format for the best quality. Posters are shipped via UPS\USPS Economy Ground shipping paid by the seller. The printing shop generally ships the posters within 4-5 business days of receiving the order, using UPS's economy subsidiary UPS Mail Innovations Express, as the initial shipping provider. Shipping is then generally transferred to USPS for delivery once the package arrives in your local area. Tracking numbers are provided the day the item is shipped and may be tracked via their website here (note that they : https://www.ups-mi.net/packageID/ I will provide you with the UPS Mail Innovations Express tracking number, which will also be trackable via UPS and USPS, along with the estimated date of arrival once I receive that information. As this is economy shipping, and as the posters are printed to order, please expect up to 2 weeks for delivery! (Though about 8-12 days is the average time between purchase and delivery). If you wish to have shipping expedited, that may be arranged at the buyer's expense. I will only upcharge for the difference in shipping costs should you wish to do this, there will be no additional sales cost. Upgraded UPS\USPS shipping prices are as follows (estimates are from time of purchase including printing): Economy Shipping (roughly 8-14 days): FREE Standard Shipping (roughly 7 days): +$10.04 2nd Day Shipping (roughly 4-7 days) +$23.01 Overnight Shipping (roughly 2-4 days) +36.86 Again, these prices are just the differences in shipping, I do not make any additional profit if you upgrade. Ebay, by default, does not take printing time nor UPS Mail Innovations Express shipping times into account when issuing an ETA to buyers. Please disregard Ebay's shipping times and instead expect the shipping ETA that I will provide after purchase and the UPS/USPS tracking information after shipping for accurate information. Note that delays are significantly more common with economy shipping than the more expensive options.BULK DISCOUNTS FOR MULTIPLE POSTERS (FOR ALL OF MY 8 X 10" POSTERS!): I do bulk discounts and free shipping for all of my 8 X 10" aviation posters on eBay!
