Step into aviation history with this vintage-inspired tribute to one of America's pioneering regional carriers. The Mohawk Airlines "Going Your Way" t-shirt celebrates the legacy of the airline that connected the Northeast and helped establish the foundation of modern regional aviation.
Founded in 1945 as Robinson Airlines and later renamed Mohawk Airlines in 1952, the carrier became a vital link for communities across New York, Pennsylvania, and New England. For over three decades, Mohawk Airlines served smaller cities often overlooked by major carriers, pioneering routes that connected rural areas to major metropolitan hubs. Their "Going Your Way" slogan reflected their commitment to serving passengers wherever they needed to travel, building a reputation for reliability and community service throughout the region.
Despite their strong route network and local following, Mohawk Airlines faced mounting financial pressures in the increasingly competitive aviation market of the 1970s. Rising fuel costs, regulatory challenges, and competition from larger carriers strained the company's resources. In 1972, Mohawk Airlines was acquired by Allegheny Airlines (later USAir), ending 27 years of independent operation as consolidation began reshaping the airline industry.
