    		"Hughes Airwest's planes were rather recognizable because of their banana-yellow fuselage and tail colors. Because of this, their airplanes were often dubbed "flying bananas" and the airline even launched an advertising campaign with the catchphrase "Top Banana in the West", etc. Most nicknames given to Hughes Airwest airplanes on aviation books and magazines have to do with bananas."
