The Los Angeles Times’ Susan Spano on Sunday offered a heart-warming recollection of Pacific Southwest Airlines, which was sold to US Airways in 1988 and is now the subject of a permanent display at the San Diego Aerospace Museum in Balboa Park. “The San Diego-based carrier holds a special place in the hearts of many, especially those who flew PSA in the ‘60s and ‘70s, the glory days when the airline summed up everything that was groovy and freewheeling about California,” she writes.
