Anyone remember Southeast Airlines

Does anyone remember Southeast Airlines from Largo FL? VERY SIMILAR to Allegiant

Naw, totally different.

Allegiant has not yet, to my knowledge, had Paris Hilton throwing bags for them. :laugh:

That's Crazy Paris Hilton threw bags for them?

 

[CA1900]

Yep, as a publicity stunt for her stupid reality show. She was opening up bags in the hold and going through their clothes. It was like a trainwreck -- I couldn't look away!

Wasn't that another successful John Tague led venture?

I remember Southeast. They held the copyright to the old National Airlines Sun logo and operated casino junkets on DC-9-30's and MD-80s. One of the DC-9-30's was the last origional DC-9 off the MD line before shifting to all MD-80 production.

That would be Air South and Vanguard, I believe...

Didn't they have a dual flameout in a 9 while trying to cross a line of tstorms west of ATL? I seem to remember that video during recurrent years ago. I might be wrong. It wouldn't be the first time.

That was the old Southern Airways, that merged with North Central and Air West, to form the original Republic Airlines. Then later became part of NWA.

Exactly 34 years ago tomorrow:
