A Look at Corporate Airliners March 2021
Essentially beginning in the 1950s, the "company plane" became an essential piece of equipment. Without the limitations of railroad or airline schedules, a company plane sped management, operations, and sales personnel to meetings and job sites with maximum efficiency. As time went on the plane became a significant marketing tool as well, useful in transporting customers to job sites as well as recreational sites.
War surplus aircraft were an affordable early option, with ex military Beech 18s being a popular favorite.
As industries grew, the scope of aircraft operations grew as well, resulting in a range of aircraft from single engine Cessnas to 747s.
Beechcraft was early in recognizing the potential of "company planes", and quickly directed their marketing to that arena. Following are postcards featuring Corporate Airliners, including some early Manufacturer issued cards. |
