Talking Sunnies Shorts - all gone

An end of an era occurred yesterday with the departure for the USA of the last 3 Sunstate Shorts 360.

These aircraft certainly put Sunstate Airlines on the map and are still in great condition after sitting out the last year and a half.

The 3 in company, were in Norfolk Is last night and head for Samoa today then on to Christmas Is, Hilo (Hawaii) then Hollister on the mainland. 2 then go on top Milwaukie and 1 down to Panama.

Well done Jetstar, saw two of them at the holding point yesterday morning and wondered where they were going. The trip should rack up a few hours for the crews, as from memory the Irish Concorde was only about 200 kts TAS.

I believe 3 of sunstate oldest DH8-100's will retire also, with Dh3's to replace them.
