Out of interest what big jets go in there now?
Not been to Key West on hols for over 20 years as it is now so expensive but I'm planning a trip this year to maybe have a slow drive down the Keys.
My last flights back in the day MIA-EYW-MIA were on rather ghastly very small turboprops (Banderante?)
Had some wonderful vintage prop flights on PBA airways on their DC3's and Martin 404's
walking out to one of these at EYW leaving at sunset in warm balmy air and swaying palm trees to fly back to MIA for a Laker or Air Florida DC-10 to Gatwick
I was, but too young to care about jet noise and not very close to the airport. It’s mainly ERJ’s and 73’s now. The -700 of course. Silver brings Saab’s. I quit using them, even to
JS due to on time performance and loads. Seaborne manages pretty well with them though. Just sayin’....
