Our man in Havanna, Amos Blum!

A thrilling life with the airlines! Name something Amos has NOT experienced managing ONA passengers and crews smooth traffic globetrotting from Bangor, Maine to Singapore and Jeddah! ......HEY HEY ONA! After ONA Amos went to work for World Airways in EWR/LAX, then to Flying Tigers from 1982-1989. After that Amos took up his career with Fed Ex eventually moving to Memphis. Amos just retired having started in airline operations in 1966, so he had a long time in aviation. Amos has dual abodes, one in Florida and another in Memphis TN.

Dave, Phil, Cub and Amos!
Happy Reunion!

"You are flying on one of ONA´s 
Bicentennial Aircraft designed 
by one of our employees as a 
symbol of our participation in 
the celebration of America´s 
200th anniversary.
In keeping with ONA´s role of 
promoting masstravel for 
recreational, cultural and 
educational purposes, we have 
named our bicentennial project 
"visitUS".
Through 1975, 1976 and 1977 the 
aircraft will visit most cities 
in the US, Hawaii, the islands 
of the Caribbean and many 
European countries extending an 
ivitation to all people to 
"visitUS" during this 
"Celebration America" period.
We hope this card will serve as 
a memento of your flight and a 
reminder of the wonders of a 
free and independent USA and 
its 200th Anniversary Celebration."
