Question about Mesa planes

[HockleyPilot]

I was in OKC this week and I saw a bunch of Mesa planes (and I mean some without the UAX letters or missing paint on the tails, etc. at a hanger on the west side).

Curious if anyone knows why?

Are they being painted there for China ops?

Thanks.

Nobody?

I believe AAR which you are referring too has a bunch of CRJ's parked out there. If those are the same one's, (they were there last week), those are actually old Independence Air airplanes. This is a temporary home until they get flown out west to the spot with the rest of them and all the old Dornier 328's.

Nope, there are only a few IDE planes left on the market and they are not in OKC. None were left in United paint either. Most of the Dork Jets are out of MYR also and flying for mostly charter companies. See the FJ tails everywhere.

I don't know if they're ALL being painted here, but some if not all of the China aircraft are being painted at AeroTurbine in Goodyear, AZ.

Wonder if they are using lead based paint?

There are a few Indy Air planes parted at ZPH (Zepherhills, FL)

Ohhhhhh! That was funny and needed to be quoted.

all the old Dornier 328's.

Dornier's! RIP! So sad a nice airplane died before its time!
