Horizon started operations in 9.81 with three Fairchild F-27s, the fleet later growing to 10 of the type. They were traded in to DHC just after the time of this photo for new Dash 8s

Unlike the Simmons YS-11 in American Eagle colours just uploaded, N274P operated in their own livery, with small Republic Express titles on the door. Like so many of the US registered examples, this one was originally part of a large Piedmont fleet and was acquired from PBA in 2.85, being sold to SA Litoral SA as XA-ROV in 8.89. Wfu at Greenwood, MS 4.91 and later b/u

In 1985, Southwest bought out Muse Air, making it a subsidiary company and renaming it TranStar. The company was notable for banning smoking long before Federal regulations, but was never profitable and by mid-1987 operations were ceased. This MD went to Continental at that point and later became N93875. To Roswell, NM, 11.04 for storage and part-out

New with SAS in 10.74, to Swissair as HB-IHP in 9.89 and Northwest as N211NW in 1.91. Stored at Marana, AZ from 1.05 and being dismantled by the end of 2006

After wartime RAF service as FD879 in the Far East, this Dakota found its way to the Pakistan AF, but temporarily lost her identity when sold to the US along with six others; c/n 33569 was assumed for a while. To Canada in 1955, serving for the first 12 years as a corporate transport. Wfu 1992, sold as N103NA and operated in Classic Express Airways colours. Now based at Flabob, CA with 'Flabob Express' titles

Having earlier enjoyed a corporate career flying for the Orinoco Mining Co as YV-O-CFO / YV-P-APZ and before that US Steel Corp as N12500, this Fairchild had pretty much reached the end of its useful life by the time of this photo, being scrapped in 3.90

The grand-daddy of them all, in storage before re-positioning back to Seattle for the Museum of Flight in 1990

Looking totally immaculate here with C-FPWY in the background, this Dart-powered Convair was converted from ANA CV-440 JA5055 in 12.65 and flew with Hawaiian as N45004 till sold to Pacific Western in 2.67. Wfu at Springbank, AB 12.91 and b/u 2.05

Smoky start-up for this 1944 Dakota, which served the RAF and RCAF as KG320 till 1970. Nowadays N47TF with Chino Warbirds, resplendent in full PSA colours

Stored under the scorching Nevada sun, this F-27 earlier operated for UTA as F-OCXI, having originally been delivered in 3.64 to Pacific Air Lines (later merged into Air West then Hughes Airwest). Became HK-3356X with Aires Colombia in 10.87; wfu at Bogotá 9.94 and broken up three years later
