- [Announcer] Hooters Air puts the fun back into flying.

- [Announcer] Hooters girls on every flight.

- [Announcer] All leather seats with extra leg room.

- [Narrator] You might not have known about Hooters Air

and initially the airline was successful,

- We're at the Gary Chicago International Airport

where Hooters Air is about to make their maiden flight

- [Narrator] Based in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina,

Air fares were a flat rate of $129 dollars each way.

So why did Hooters think it was a good idea

to start an airline, and why did it fail?

- If you like what you see here on the outside,

you're gonna love what you'll see on the inside.

- [Narrator] Hooters was founded by six business men

A year later, an Atlanta-based group led by Bob Brooks

saw the company's potential and bought it outright.

So basically they pioneered the idea that

they're going to have all their waiters where short shorts

- Do you know why our beer is so cold here at Hooters?

- From kind of the '80s until the early 2000s

it was a very successful kind of growing business.

- [Narrator] By 2003, Hooters was flushed with cash

and Bob Brooks wanted to expand the brand,

so he bought a small North Carolina-based charter airline

He repainted the airplanes with the company logo

- What would you tell people out there watching the show

- It's gonna be the most exciting time of your life.

- [Pilot] I'm probably one of the few pilots who can say

- There was a lot of intrigue about this airline

not because of necessarily what was going on on the inside

but more so what people perceived from the outside.

- It's gonna be a nice change from the restaurant.

Instead of serving food and all that stuff

and picking up trash, we get to just basically entertain,

- [Narrator] A common misconception about Hooters Air

was that the flight attendants on the flights

In addition to the two Hooters girls on every flight,

there were three FAA-certified flight attendants.

- [Flight Attendant] The flight attendants are the ones who

serve all the food and the drinks, per usual.

It had the little owl embroidered emblem on it.

- [Flight Attendant] We just did the safety procedures

They were just there just for passenger fun.

You guys are gonna be up there serving customers?

- [Flight Attendant] The two Hooters girls

would get up during the flight and do trivia

I think they just sat in their seats the whole time

until it was their five minutes to get up, and that was it.

The rest of the time us flight attendants are working.

- [Interviewer] Were there ever any incidents

or customers getting a little too inebriated?

- [Flight Attendant] I never saw any kind of harassment.

Any flight, you're always gonna come across some people

that have drank too much, but nothing bad.
