Casino Express Airlines, representing the carrier's classic operational era spanning from 1989 through its mid-2000s rebranding. Beautifully curated on their original, type-labeled estate collector presentation cards, this matching pairing features both the standard Captain wing with its prominent single star atop a stylized crown and the coveted Senior Captain wing featuring the expanded open laurel wreath and star command crest. Both insignia boast a brilliant gold finish and proudly exhibit the airline's highly unique, thematic central emblem. These authentic clutchback wings represent a fascinating, nostalgic chapter in niche regional aviation, when Casino Express’s dedicated flight crews commanded a specialized fleet of Boeing 737 jetliners flying vacationers and gaming enthusiasts directly to resort destinations like Elko, Nevada. This Nevada casino-era collection stands as a phenomenal set for any serious commercial airline historian or specialized aviation insignia collector.
The wings are in very good condition, but have some surface scratches and the senior captain wings have some corrosion that I haven’t tried to clean. Please see photos for condition.
