Ruby Mountain cleared to land

[mirrodie]

I heard that callsign for G-XLAG, of Xtra Airways. They identified themselves as "ruby mountain"

Anyone know the story with this aircraft? Its UK registeration but now, is it Casino Express? Or is Casino Express synonymous with Xtra Airways?

[LGA777]

Xtra Airways is the new name of Casino Express and they are operating both 734's and 738's instead of the old 737-200's !

Cheers

Yes Casino Retired their 732 and replaced then with these 734 and 738s Excel Airways colors.
Taken Sunday 11th at JFK. A Crappy shot in Crappy weather on a Crappy trip.

first shot of Xtra on the db

I did a lot of resseach, at the time, netiher me nor the PA guy knew what Ruby Mountain was...and to add to further confusion, that G-Xlax, denoting British registration, didnt help! LOL
