"Small Cities 'to be Hurt Tremendously' by Airline Cuts" "Airline Subsidy Cuts Leave Three Towns Flightless" "No Convenient Route to Buffalo" -actual newspaper headlines, 2007-08 It wasn't always like this. At least, not during the era of the Local Service Airlines. From the 1950s through the mid-1980s, these feisty, colorful startups provided a level of service unheard of today, reaching small communities across America. They had to. Encouraged and supported by the Civil Aeronautics Board, these privately-owned companies were mandated to bring reliable scheduled airline transportation-plus airmail and small package service-to the citizens of places like Enid, Oklahoma; or Walla Walla, Washington; or Kokomo, Indiana-and other places ignored by the bigger and older airlines. The "locals" may have begun with second-hand propeller-driven equipment, like the legendary DC-3, but by the mid-60s they were operating turboprops and jets-just like the bigger airlines. And some of these Locals, especially Frontier and Ozark and Piedmont, eventually gave the big boys a run for their money. One Local, Allegheny, became today's US Airways. These truly were Airlines For the Rest of Us, and this is the story of how they began, how they grew, and why they disappeared.

Not a nasal spray put in temples
This is NOT a typical Nose Spray. I did a search for nose spray. I read the description. I read the reviews. It arrived quickly. I sprayed into my nose. For 10 minutes this stronger than vicks Nasal Spray burned my sinus, throat and eyes. But no congestion the rest of the day. Bought some for a friend. Good thing he read the box. PUT on temples.

No more sniffles
I used the spray today. Usually I blow my now all day and night 24/7. But today it’s been 3 hours and I haven’t needed to blow except for 2 times and then it was practically nothing. I recommend this product to everyone.

Best sinus spray!!
This sinus congested spray is amazing!!! It opens up my sinuses, it smells amazing and it helps me get a great night sleep! I highly recommend it. I had to buy one for my fiancé because he wanted to steal mine. 😆😆 Ohh and don't put it close to your eyes because it will sting, because it is very strong.
