NOW GET AFTER IT...............
I liked your tail livery game. Here's one for you. Aircraft was photographed in Ft Lauderdale in 1993. This is a toughie, as the airline only lasted 18 months before going out of businessAirline started up in 1993, and went bust in July 1994. In between, there was a period of about two months when it suspended operations while it restructured.
The reason they folded: wiped out by bigger competitors who had much deeper pockets and who undercut them into oblivion (they out-discounted the discount airline). The company had three
(leased) 727s.

Answer: UltrAir
EDWIN.............HOW DID YA GET IT?????........GOTTA KNOW............
EDWIN.......YOU A SMART COOKIE...........!!!!!
OK....I HAVE TO ASK.......WERE YOU ABLE TO SEE THE TEXT ON THE TAIL....OR CLEARLY READ TAIL OR REGISTRATION #??????
Spent a good 30-45 minutes on this one, so it was quite tough. First 15 minutes was spent just browsing the web and try to find some general information, which didn't result in anything, so I figured I'd just search the reg and let someone else take it. Thing is I didn't read the reg correctly, I read N253PA as opposed to N353PA so that didn't turn out to anything other than a PA38.
After some more research I came across a long list of airlines and this one fit the description quite good, did a search on the airline and matched the livery and the rest of the reg and voila! :)
Edwin, you definitely get a gold star for that one. UltrAir is correct :-)
Getjets - look in your email for an image of the entire plane, and a New York Times story of the airline folding up shop.
Guess I have to make the next one a bit tougher.
Edwin.........I did the exact same thing with the reg #.......oh I was so frustrated............but was having the time of my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bet I 'googled' at least 75 sites......HOPING........TO GET A HIT...............THEN ~G~ TOOK OVER.............and with a little help..we had it...........!!!!
Sh!t that was fun.........!!!!...
Thank you again Edwin..........!!!
Damn it was a good day........Mr Ritchie..................SO FUNNY...............YA GOT ANOTHER MYSTERY..............??
BRING IT ON..............LOL....
RITCHIE...............THIS WAS SO MUCH FUN...............!!!!
I THINK I'LL KEEP YOU ON THE PAYROLL....................
I WOULD JUST LIKE TO KNOW....HOW DID YOU COME ACCROSS THIS TAIL............:))))???????...

Hey Jules!
Ya made it easy leaving the reg No. in, you know what to do next time!!
Giulia, your profile pic is priceless! I thought I had a big grin when I sat in that sim but yours takes the biscuit!!!
Jules, I saw an ad for Virgin (that's the airline before you get excited Ritchie!) the other day that just made me think of you and TWA, they have a great red livery and a sense of fun that you would just imagine TWA exhibiting if they were around today, here's the link:
Virgin Atlantic
Apologies if you have already seen it..
Guess what! Lions v Saints is being shown on the TV over here (kick off 1am!!) Maybe I should invite Foggy over and get the popcorn and dogs in!

N353PA - B727-225 - "PA" suffix would indicate ex-PanAm aircraft? Used on Euro domestic routes to/from Berlin-Tempelhof(?) in the U.S. Sector prior to German reunification.

Dave from the UK
Giulia, How did I know that you would know that I would, etc...! Now that would be telling:)... Please, not the chalk brush! Could I not just have another "Look"... please?
Dave, Virgin Atlantic used that ad year before last? Those heels can't do the wing skins much good!
"YES FOGGY........it's the VERTICAL STABILISING COMPONENT AIRCRAFT APENDAGE THINGIE.................:))))))"
^J^ Good to see you haven't lost the "Engineer's Tech Terminology Speak" ;))
LOL Dave! Good link, the end of the commercial 'Is that Linda?' 'Noooo, she's in Miami' lol! Weird but fun!
If anyone finds him or herself flying a Virgin Atlantic A340 with holes in the left wing...you know where they're from!
Happy Sunday, everyone!
Jules? Got your voice back yet?
Foggy...ahem...I'd give you the "Look" but apparently, I need the right shoes.
:)
Giulia - ;))
Saints really did play well yesterday, didn't they? Bring on the big kitty!
Since the UltrAir tail went over so well, I shoudl see about finding another obscure one. And this time, either deleted the registration (d'oh!) or use Photoshop to replace with an incorrect registration (bwahahahahahahahahaha!!!!).
Would this need to be a US airline, Getjets, or should we expand the scope and go global?
KTCB = """Kicked their collective bitz!!""
