does any freight fly out of Texarkana

[bell47]

Are there any freight planes based there? Such as Caravans or someone hauling checks?

I can't be certain, but I think Martinaire operates a Caravan to TXK. Not too sure though.

A few years back there was a freight operation running quite a number of Beech 18`s based there! Not sure if they are still operating though.

Wonder if that was the outfit flying DC-3s a while back. I think their name was May Air or something like that

Bingo! May Air. Are they still operating?

May Air closed shop a few years ago. The Sprindale Air Caravan also left a few years back. Nothing in TXK that I know of.

Martinaire had a Caravan there many years ago, but Sprindale took over the UPS run.

As far as I know all of the cargo is gone from TXK. I used to hang out around there quite a bit. May Air shut down (and I wouldn't have flown for them anyway if I were you) quite a number of years ago, they had Beech 18s, a DC-3, and some Lodestars. The caravan that used to fly there from MArtinaire ( I think) is gone as well. Just scheduled airline service and quite a number of corporate operators there now.
