Wonderful plush aviator "Teddy-Bear" advertising gimmick, but made SO BEAUTIFULLY!! Leather looking flight jacket with sheepskin collar ( sorry, I flipped one side up when I photographed it) Aviator Realistic toy aviator goggles, ( and I accidently didn't position then correctly--They slip firmly right over his eyes.) and leather looking( cover the whole head) aviator cap All of these pieces removable.
Here is the scoop. As far as I can tell, my hometown based America-West airlines stopped using their logo (America-West--like what it says on jacket back.) when they were taken over by another airline in 2006... Later American Airlines incorporated this airline within theirs.
On the front it says "Bank Of America"--see photo
On the back it says in large letters "FLIGHT FUND", AMERICA-WEST AIRLINES --see photo--On could bank their funds on payday to save up for a flight on America-West Air. and as a promotion not to do this with any other bank--gave this beautifully made" Aviator Teddy", (10 INCHES TALL SEATED) to remind you to save for that flight you want !!!
