This is the oldest single Otter still flying and soon it will be 60 years old.

Last flight of the day for ODH is over. In Dec 2000, this Otter was carrying a prisoner escorted by a deputy sheriff. The prisoner somehow was able to open the door and jump to his death into the ocean at Hecate Strait from 1500 meters. The deputy sheriff apparently suffered a nervous breakdown following the incident.

A shot from back in the dim and distant past when airliner types actually looked different and the people paying to fly in them were passengers and not customers.

Ex Eastern, later rr to N445JM.

Here filling a water tank between flights, this DC-9 was delivered to Trans Texas Airways January 1968. In October the airline was renamed Texas International Airlines and this color scheme with the lone star on the tail was introduced. Merging with Continental in 1982, the aircraft flew on until sold in 1984. Flying in the USA as a freighter until 2002, the DC-9 went to Lineas Aereas Suramericanas as HK-4246X. It, unfortunately, crashed during an approach neat Mitu, Colombia December 18, 2003.
