NameBase has three overlapping lists of former employees and friends of Air America and related entities -- a 1987 printout of 694 members of Air America Club (this included Pacific Corporation, Air America, Air Asia, Civil Air Transport, and Southern Air Transport); a 1997 list of 1,443 members of Air America Association; and a 1997 list of 289 members of CAT Association. (Over ten years, the first list apparently expanded and split into two.) Each list has name, address, spouse's name, and telephone.

Air America, which at its height had the largest commercial airfleet in the world, was secretly run by the CIA. A study of the executives and lawyers who played shell games with various CIA proprietaries ought to be done someday. When E-Systems bought Air Asia from the CIA in 1975, they pointed out that their intelligence contracting was with the Air Force, not the CIA, and that former CIA director William Raborn, a director of E-Systems, was not involved in the purchase. E-Systems president John W. Dixon insists that "we have never done any business with the CIA," even though other former top CIA officials are among the senior executives at E-Systems, and Dixon himself was a member of the Association of Former Intelligence Officers in 1983. Okay, we'll assume that they work together out of love of country to prevent excessive corporate profiteering....
