An Airline is Born!
On April 15, 1926, a young pilot named Charles A. Lindbergh flew a bag of mail in his DH-4 biplane from Chicago to St. Louis. Lindbergh’s company, Robertson Aircraft Corporation, eventually consolidated with several others to form what is known today as American Airlines, the largest airline in the world.
Flash forward some 90 years. In 2014, a still-youngish airline pilot named Eric Walden, growing dissatisfied with the volatile, post-9/11 treatment of airline pilots, walks away from his potentially secure and lucrative career to start his own airline, Little Hawk Logistics, LLC.
Today, Walden happily flies charter clients in his own, single-pilot, single-engine Daher TBM 850, a gorgeous, ultra-zippy, five-passenger turboprop.
“I named my company after my grandfather’s hamburger stand, because that got him his first airplane, and this is my first airplane.”
“When he was ten years old,” Captain Walden says, “my grandfather Al listened on the radio to Lindbergh crossing the Atlantic. He decided right then that he was going to be a pilot. His father replied, “But Al, you’re already a pilot. You take this cow manure and pile-it over here, and pile-it over there!”
