The tribal dance
pattern was designed specifically to be used onboard the America
West 747s in first and business class with their service to Hawaii
and Japan. America West had 4 of these 747s and operated this
service starting in November 1989 and lasted about 2 years.
The eagle symbol is a symbol from the Hopi Indian tribe in Arizona.
