Ex RA-26017 Komiavia and Aeroflot-Komi. To Avialeasing Sep 2001.

Originally Business Express N824BE before going to Air Calypso in Oct 97 as F-OHQF. Operated in this special livery which promoted the major French (internet) radio station NRJ (also active in the French overseas departments). The NRJ titles partially disappeared when an unpainted replacement door was mounted. The airline ceased operations in 2000 and the aircraft was repossessed by the owners (a bank) and stored at Opa Locka. For a while it remained in this special Air Calypso livery which promoted a local radio station on Guadeloupe. It eventually went to Deraya Air Taxi (Indonesia) in Nov 2004 as PK-DSS and to Pineapple Air (Bahamas) Aug 2017 as C6-BUS.

Noted still operating 31 Oct 2020.

Ditched in shallow water off Sunny Isles Beach FL 6 Dec 2001 on a short hop from FLL to OPF due to fuel exhaustion. This aircraft began life as a Convair 340 N3415 with Braniff Airways. It then went to Allegheny (N3415/N5827), with whom it was with when converted to a 580. After that it worked with Summit Airlines N534SA, European Expedite OO-EEB and C-FHEO with Canair Cargo. Joined Trans-Air-Link in Mar 1999.

Air Jamaica Express was a subsidiary of Air Jamaica and operated between Apr 96 and Oct 2005.

Operated by Raeford Airlines Sep 2000 to Jun 2003. This much travelled a/c began life as a Convair 340 N73149 with United Air Lines. It then went on to Lake Central Airlines and Allegheny Airlines and was converted to a 580 in Mar 69. Next was Summit Airlines as N5847 and then N532SA. It operated a year in Belgium (Feb 89- Feb 90) as OO-EEA with European Expedite. Next stop was Canada with Canair Cargo as C-FHEL. Then back to Europe and Portugal as CS-TMO with Agroar and ACEF. Returned to the USA and Raeford A/L. Finally to Air Tahoma Jun 2003 as N585P. Retired Jan 2009.

Operated by Miami Air Lease. Written off 4 Dec 2004 when it ditched in Maule lake Marina, Miami, after an engine problem on departure from Opa Locka, en route to Nassau. The improper maintenance of the port engine prevented the left propeller from feathering. This resulted in the airplane being unable to maintain altitude and having to ditch. A contributory factor was the aircraft load exceeding the maximum allowable takeoff weight on departure.

Now with a revised livery from when I last photographed it.
