## Description

Windproof lighters are Bradford's gift to the world: Zippo has made them here since 1932, alongside Case pocket knives — and every one of those hundreds of millions of units has left town by truck, not by air. Bradford Regional, tucked against the Allegheny National Forest in Pennsylvania's far north, runs on subsidized commuter flights and general aviation. Freight aircraft are not part of the picture; McKean County ships via Buffalo or Pittsburgh. The region's logistics heyday came early anyway — Bradford boomed on high-grade Pennsylvania crude in the late 1800s, when the product moved by barrel and rail.
