PACIFIC SOUTHWEST AIRLINES

PSA was a San Diego based airline from 1949 to 1988; USAir purchased PSA in 1986. I was an employee and had over the years collected an extensive variety of PSA memorabilia. In 2018, I donated over 100 items to the San Diego Air & Space Museum. Most of the items on this list were donated. These items were added to the 75 plus boxes of existing material which supports their permanent PSA exhibit.
