This site is maintained as a hobby by Kevin Trinkle. (That's me.) I am a native San Diegan, who remembers PSA's planes flying over the city from my youth. I started this page in 1995, about a year after I first went online, to help keep PSA's memory alive. (The short and simple answer)

By day, I am an analyst for the new US Airways, based in Corporate Headquarters in Tempe, AZ. In many ways, working at US Airways is a homecoming for me, because of both the PSA influence and America West, which was my first airline. Keep in mind that this is a personal site and the views expressed here are not those of my employer.

After 11 years of working on this website, I'm amazed how large it is and the number of turns my life has taken since then. I didn't expect to be back in Arizona, at my fifth (well fourth, maybe) airline at this point in my life. But I guess I didn't know what to expect when I was younger. I still wonder at times where the future will take me.

As for the Smile High Club (the first banner on this site, lasting through 1998) - it was PSA's promotion for travel agents. PSA sold passes for $15 to Travel Agents, space-available. USAir ended the promotion after the full merger into the USAir system (1988.)
