Gee's MarkAir, now that is an airline I have not thought about in years. Use to ride them to and from Bethel in the old days.
The predessor which they bought out had much cooler ad posters though.
FIL used work for MarkAir as a flight instructor. I think Mark Air pissed in Alaska Airlines wheaties one too many times.
They were is a dead-heat race for awhile to go broke as I recall. Those were good days to fly cheap. Safety may have played second fiddle I'm sure; and of course AS Gold Coast was permanently sealed into oblivion with all that.
