    So that means their planes will still be seen, right?

    another 727 operator bites the dust. and a good one,good people. I flew their last DC-3 back in the 90's,but left before they evolved into jets. may they all find new,and better seats pronto ! God bless them !
    The beehive hummm of the JT9D and GE CF680C2,the thunder of the JT8D-17,the rumble of the PW1830 and the high ,thin whine of the PW 545A are all music to my ears!

    Yes you might see them around they will probably operate like Ameristar. And just but here and there out of the blue and depart 3 hours later and won't be back for a year.

    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    Yea its too bad....
    As 727C47 say we have lost another 727 operator. Unless they use the 727s for charter. Its amazing how in less that 10 yeas 727s have basically become extinct.

    They used to come in fairly regularly, carrying horses.

    Well they still might do them, it says they will still operate some charter flights. Its daily service, such as at EWR is stopped. Capitol Cargo has picked up their route to/from Bermuda daily.

    Obviously if they are going to run bare bones charter stuf the fleet is going to drop off. I wonder where those delicious 737's will go if that is going to be the case.

    Yes, Express.net did run some of the horse flights - this is from October 2006, actually the same morning as the last Tomcat flight.
