In a hybrid livery leased from Air Jamaica (6Y-JIJ). This frame was later to be seen in Europe flying on short term leases with Aero Lloyd (D-ALLD) and Spantax (EC-DTI). Apologies for the sun glare, due mainly to Inexperience and a lack of multiple exposures due to cost in those days.

In 1975 Florida Airlines took over both Air South and Shawnee Airlines, because their route networks supplemented that of Florida Airlines perfectly. The two airlines continued to operate under their own names as Florida Airlines subsidiaries, but their combined routes were marketed as "The Connection". Some aircraft carried large "The Connection" titles, and often also the actual airline's name in smaller size. DC-3 N79B for example is seen here carrying small "Florida Airlines" titles on the nose. The Shawnee Airlines subsidiary was shutdown by the FAA in Oct 1977 and sold to Air Miami in 1978.

To FedEx Mar 91. Retired Dec 91.
