Skyliners was founded in 1908 when 19 year old Jayne Nibblesby, a desperate engineer and entrepreneur, first heard about the historic first flight of the Wrogne Brothers. Upon hearing the news, Jayne came up with the idea for a type of paid transport using flying machines. This idea would eventually become commercial airlines. Nibblesby founded the commercial airline Bad Air in 1920 out of Detroit with a fleet of hastily kitbashed airplanes and serviced flights to wherever the customer wished. The flights were far from safe, sporting no seatbelts or seats and more often than not ran out of fuel before clearing the homemade runway. | Skyliners was founded in 1908 when 19 year old Jayne Nibblesby, a desperate engineer and entrepreneur, first heard about the historic first flight of the Wrogne Brothers.
