Photos and story by Ken Kula

All thirty aircraft that you see were active in the 2006 to 2007 timeframe. Today, they are but a memory. Either the aircraft typw ahs been phased out by the airline, or the airline is no longer in business as their livery shows… or maybe a combination of both too.

Ken Kula

Assignment and Content Editor, writer and photographer A New Englander all of my life, I've lived in New Hampshire since 1981. My passion for all things aviation began at a very early age, and I coupled this with my interest of photography during college in the late 1970s. I spent 35 years in the air traffic control industry, and concurrently, enjoyed my aviation photography and writing adventures, which continue today. I've been quite fortunate to have been mentored by some generous and gifted individuals. I enjoy contributing to this great site and working with some very knowledgeable and equally passionate aviation followers.
