Click on Bob Gerrard, the photographer who took most of those old photos... He has posted 1,900 photos on airliners.net from the 60's 70's and 80's in unbelievable quality.

I've been glued to the computer for hours...

Man that's depressing...lets see how about the good old DO-228. After flying that piece of crap I then "stepped up" to the SA-227...Yikes I need a drink.

Here is one of my first Airline job.

Now it could be the scotch...but I seem to recall that AirWilly flew Dash-7's a few years ago. Anyone up to finding a picture?

So did Pan Am Express on the West coast.

 

[xjlifer]

I jump seated out of Aspen ...I think...on a Air Willy Dash7..I think?

What do I know it is late and I am drinkin.

The Junkstream rocks!!!!!!!!

Atlanta Center: "Acey 123, you've got traffic, a J31 at 12'o clock and 4 miles, report traffic in sight".

Me: "Looking for the traffic... I can hear him, but can't see him yet".

 

[Drill Sgt. Dad]

Long live the mighty J-31 and J-32's
Sorry, I can figure out how to put a link here. I am slightly technilogically inept

That Air Willy one is a ATP.

 

[WMUSIGPI]

That Air Willy one is a ATP.

The good ol ATP. UFS used to bring those things into AZO. It was strange to watch them have to throw a thousand pounds of ballast in the tail at night before training flights. Then they were replaced by Air Willy and the Do328 props.

Round-up in Midway

Remind me to bring a bottle of Round-Up next time I'm headed for Midway. Only airport I know that lets the grass grow in the cracks......anyway...

Anyone have the history on Iowa Airways? Who bought them? Where did they go? http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0308967/M/
