[ATLplt]

Private Jet Expeditions 1991-1994 I think. MD-80's based in ATL.

Nation's Air 1993-?? Again, I'm not exactly sure on the dates. 737's.

 

[PlaneDrvr]

TransContinental- Freight outfit out of Yip (727,DC-8) Now Express.Net ??
American International Airways- Kalittas old- Sold to KittyHawk.

Also, the original "American Int'l Airways" (AIA), that operated in the '80s (not sure of the yrs., flew DC-9s and MD-80s. Based out of ACY, flew charters and then went 'scheduled' and within six months, BK and out of business. You know the typical story, heard it many times.

Connie bought the AIA name after BK, some time around 1991-92, before that the old Kalitta operated as "Connie Kalitta Services" (CKS).

Maybe someone else has more info on the 'original AIA'

Also, Northeast (1982-86) that some mentioned before, I think was actually "Northeastern Int'l Airlines." They had a pine tree painted on the tail. Operated DC-8s and B-727s (and right before the end A-300B4s), flying out of PHL, ISP, ORD to FLL and MCO.

I think, but someone will correct me if I'm wrong?

Not only Conquest as Chuck pointed out, but don't forget about Lone Star Airlines/Aspen Mountain Air. I liked Conquest a little better though. Love those cool summer evenings in MFE...

That would be Exec express/Lone Star/Aspen Mountain Air.
