DE, NY. 1950-1970's. Aviation specimen stocks. 1) Midway Airlines, Inc. 1976. Vignette with allegorical man and woman with torch and cadaceus in clouds with airplanes. Odd shares, blue border. Founded in 1976 by Irving T. Tague, Midway started flying in 1979 from its main hub at Midway Airport in Chicago. One of the first new airline companies to begin operating after the federal Airline Deregulation Act of 1978, Midway Airlines started with three DC9-15 airplanes. It flew between Chicago and Cleveland, Detroit and Kansas City. By the end of 1982, Midway served 15 cities with a fleet of 16 airplanes. In 1984, it bought the assets of the bankrupt Air Florida. By the late 1980s, Midway owned more than 70 planes, flew to 50 airports, employed 6,000 people and had annual revenues of over $400 million. The expansion continued in 1989, when Midway purchased the Philadelphia operations of Eastern Airlines; but this venture ended up driving the company into bankruptcy. 2) Standard Equipment Co., Inc.
