1980s Air West Hat Badge

This is a circa 1980s Air West hat badge. Three companies merged in early 1968 to form Air West, and two years later it became Hughes Airwest thanks to Howard Hughes. The badge has a very geometric wing design.

Circa 1980s.

Approximately 1-1/2" in height and 3-5/16" in width.
