I suspected it was one of Howard Hughes’s later, zanier endeavors...and it was.

You’ve never heard of the Top Banana in the West?

Or seen The Gauntlet with Clint Eastwood?

They were the "Top Banana in the West" , before deregulation, the biggest regional airline in the Western US. The company's early history was pretty shaky, Howard Hughes rescued them from certain bankruptcy when he took them over. His heirs sold the company to, I think Republic Airlines in the early '80s.

Yep Republic bought them out in 1980, then NWA bough them, then Delta bought them...
