ARCA later went on to favour the DC-8 but here we see a 707 which has just been prepared for her new role, still clearly showing the Swiss livery used by Phoenix Airways, which operated this former TWA aircraft as HB-IEG from 11.72

I can recall even the locals thought this was a rare subject at the time, as it had only been with the Viasa subsidiary for a couple of weeks. Formerly N8637 of Seaboard, this 1969 aircraft went back to Douglas in 1.82 and on to Connie Kalitta in 2.84, taking up N31EK. Converted to 73CF in 7.85, she joined UPS as N852UP and stored at Roswell, NM from 2013; b/u

TWA was the first owner of this Martin in 6.52, bought by Piedmont in 12.62 and by Southeast some ten years later. In fine form with the innovative rear airstairs lowered, this classic was near the end of her service with the Florida regional at the time of this shot. PBA went on to operate her from the end of 1975, then in late 1986 she found herself working down in the Caribbean until dbr by Hurricane Hugo on 17.9.89 at San Juan, PR. Last noted derelict in a corner there in 2003 and presumed subsequently broken up

The Puerto Rico ANG (or PRANG) was the last operational user of the Starfighter in the USAF (1968-75); never common in American use, the only others by this time were the natural finish aircraft of the Luftwaffe training unit at Luke AFB, AZ. Nice to see another Lockheed classic sharing the ramp. Langley AFB was the first airbase in the US, opened 1916

Heading out on another hurricane hunting mission, the modifications to this 1957-vintage DC-6 are clearly apparent here. Acquired in 1960 from Trans Caribbean, she was sold to Bellomy-Lawson six months after this shot and modified back to normal configuration. Painted in Challenge AT colours in 1979 and re-registered N98BL in 1983. Broken up at MIA in 1993 after a couple of years in storage

This Electra landed up as a freighter with Zantop but was destroyed by fire on the ground at Willow Run on 14.4.93. Marking upfront is the Bicentennial sticker which was applied to most of the Eastern fleet at the time

Just four of this 18-seat French design were built from 1961, perhaps providing some of the inspiration behind the later Jetstream which also used the strange Astazou turboprop, albeit two less of them. Note the Caravelle-style windows, said to be intended to lessen the need for blinds. I was surprised to learn recently that this aircraft survives, having crash-landed at Sumburgh in the Shetlands in 3.81. Now in private hands having been hauled off the airport, the owner hoping to eventually restore
