Spirit of KIWI   N8883Z B727-225A Kiwi International 1996-99 The name of the airline came from the group of former Eastern & Pan Am employees that founded it; they called themselves Kiwis because they were no longer flying, just as Kiwi birds can't fly. This squiggle scheme was created by KIWI Captain Bill Halsey and was a tribute to the airline's employee-owners. Image  ©  Jacques Guillem Collection (unk.) Tags   Party Time, Staff
