                                By the early 1970s Altair had expanded its network considerably.  Still based in Philadelphia, it
                                flew to some 15 cities throughout Pennsylvania and upstate New York.   The Queen Airs were
                                augmented with a fleet of five Beech 99s.  N746A is seen above at Westchester County Airport
