Fleets and networks are approximations for the prototype and are scaled to the model. Source: Memphis airport and 1979 in aviation pages: North Central and Southern joined as Republic Airlines on 1 July 1979, based in Minneapolis with a large operation at Memphis. The pack keeps one record for the airline that survives under the new name and folds Southern into it by an event. The modelled network and finance are estimates.
