It's 1995.
The Alfred P. Murrah federal building is blown up by a terrorist, Microsoft releases Windows 95 and on December 14th, the Bosnian War is officially over.
Back in Seattle, PNA needs more aircraft. The rapidly expanding tourist market has led to an increase in overseas holidays and PNA's daily 747 services to Honolulu, London and Paris are rapidly reaching capacity. To increase capacity on these key routes, PNA turned to our friend down south, American Pacific.
From the summer of 1992 right through to 1998, PNA leased numerous aircraft from Ampac, including the Lockheed L1011-500 tristar shown here.
This particular aircraft was primarily deployed on the Seattle-Honolulu and Seattle-Miami travel corridors, freeing up 747 capacity for the international routes.
