We really enjoyed hosting this year’s Airline Collectibles Show and Sale in Atlanta on October 17th. Close to 700 aviation memorabilia vendors, collectors, and enthusiasts of all ages joined us in Delta’s Historic Hangars 1 and 2, and we raised over $16,000 for the non-profit Delta Air Transport Heritage Museum. Visit the Museum’s Flickr page to see more pics.
I had a great time visiting all our vendors and shopping for the Delta Archives! I don’t usually buy much Delta memorabilia, because we have such a good collection already, but often look for items from airlines related to Delta.
This year, I found a Pan Am carry-on with bag tags, National seat occupied card, Republic bumper sticker, Southern mint julep glass and liquor bottle and more liquor bottles from Bonanza, North Central and Delta. Also a set of plastic dishes from Northwest. Thank you to Museum volunteer Peyman Talaei, who donated the Bonanza liquor bottle!
Hope to see you at our next Show in October!

So sorry to be a downer, but the Delta Blog has really taken a nosedive (har har, … sorry) over the last month. This is so disappointing ’cause I used to visit every day for interesting blurbs, but now posts are few, far between, and much more marketing oriented. Please please devote an extra 1/8th head to this project! Thanks!
