It was active from 1980 through 1982 with its main office located in Reno, Nevada and a maintenance base located in a former military alert hangar at Spokane, Washington.[1] It provided scheduled airline service to several cities in Nevada, and connected to Salt Lake City, Utah and Hawthorne, California.[2] It also provided both scheduled and non-scheduled (Part 135) air freight service.[3] The airline's flight call sign was Maverick.,[4] used to identify company aircraft to aircraft controllers and tower personnel. HistoryThe airline company began flying in 1980, with Donald Simon as its president.[5] Nevada cities included in its schedule were:
Air Chaparal also provided overnight freight service to GELCO Courier, transporting canceled checks overnight to Federal Reserve Bank locations along the US west coast. Flights operated between:
In 1981 Air Chaparral acquired the operating assets of Inland Empire Airlines, a California-based commuter air carrier that operated Swearingen Metro II and Metro III propjets as well as Piper Navajo Chieftain prop aircraft.[6] Inland Empire flew scheduled passenger service to destinations primarily in California but also to Arizona and Nevada as well.[7] Destinations served included Los Angeles (LAX), San Francisco (SFO), Las Vegas (LAS), Ontario (ONT), Palm Springs (PSP) and Grand Canyon National Park Airport (GCN) as well as several other smaller communities. Inland Empire continued to operate under its own name, and when Air Chaparral filed for bankruptcy in 1983, Inland Empire again became a stand-alone company. On 22 July 1981 the United States Air Force chose not to renew a lease with Air Chaparral, under which AC had been providing three turboprop-powered aircraft to the government. The Air Force issued a solicitation for other providers, but when no bids were submitted in the first round, AC officers formed a wholly owned subsidiary company (Huff Leasing Company), and submitted a bid under that name. There were two bidders under that round of solicitations, and Huff was the low bidder, receiving the Air Force nod to provide the aircraft. However, the other bidder objected, pointing out that Huff was merely a shell for the previously-rejected AC. The Air Force agreed and voided its lease with Huff. Huff appealed, but the appeal was denied by the US Court of Appeals for District of Columbia District in a 2 September 1983 decision.[8] By that time Air Chaparral had ceased operations and had filed for bankruptcy.
