As told to Amanda May
Regina Carls and friends in 1992

“I would make a stop at The Airliner with my college girlfriends who are still my best friends today—Kathy (Gracey) Swanstrom (BBA92), Julie (Hruby) Jessup (BS92), Irina (Vakos) Drazien (BA92), and Rebecca (Fuglestad) Roscich (BSPH95). College years are cherished memories.”

DYK? 

The Airliner was named #1 college bar in America by The New York Times in 2025. Is it the pizza, the ranch, or the people that makes it so memorable?
