I thought Altair operated a handful of Nord 262s as well. Maybe not into CLE but all along the east coast.

Looking at my June 1981 OAG, Altair had 3 flights between BWI-CLE. Flight 351 arrived CLE at 0840, flight 353 arrived CLE at 1320 and flight 342 arrived CLE at 1820.

Just for interest sake, Air New England launched 2 daily nonstop Convair flights between BWI-CLE in June of 1981.

I believe they had 2, a morning and evening flight. I can double check my old OAGs later tonight.

Altair actually provided regular non-stop service to BWI for a time.

I love that little Fokker! That is so cool because I can actually say that I've worked this airframe quite a few times when it was with Piedmont. Very nice catch of a great looking airplane.

Hey George was that you cutting stones in a back seat of Lincoln Cartier?

You gotta be kidding me! Not only did I just read about Beckett Aviation tonight, but you caught a gem again!
