The service did not last long before it was ceased due to lack of profit, after which they were used mainly on flights to Buenos Aires. This one was ex I-DYNB and was scrapped at Mojave in 2002 as N13067 of Continental

Another rare French transport, which began life as the Max Holste MH-260 in 1959, powered by Turbomeca Bastan IV turboprops (predecessor of the Astazou). Although only 10 were completed, the 260 went on to be developed into the 262 of which some 111 were built. This 260 remained flyable with Assoc. Antelope at Montpelier till 2010 but by 2012 was stored with tail removed

Another rare French transport, which began life as the Max Holste MH-260 in 1959, powered by Turbomeca Bastan IV turboprops (predecessor of the Astazou). Although only 10 were completed, the 260 went on to be developed into the 262 of which some 111 were built. This 260 remained flyable with Assoc. Antelope at Montpelier till 2010 but by 2012 was stored with tail removed

Good to see a 76 in this part of the world nowadays - one of three re-engined Volga-Dnepr machines that can still operate in the west without the need for special exemption. Note the '20 years' markings, carried on the tail instead on the other side

The former I-DEMU had only just been acquired by ONA when shot and it seems they hadn't had time to paint it yet - not too often you see an airliner in passenger service wearing nothing more than primer! After a lease to CAAC, became G-VGIN in 1.86 then 5N-EEE with Kabo in 10.01; stored at Marana from 10.07

The former G-ASJH is seen here after preparation for a new carrier in California, soon after the demise of Laker. Pacific Express intended to offer high frequency, low fare service in the LA-SFO corridor, but PSA objected as they used that name for their small package service. Flights were however operated to 22 cities in California and the Northwest, latterly as Pan Am Pacific Express, till bankruptcy in 2.84
