slide from Adrian Stanislovaitis. - Midstate Airlines operated a fleet of six Fokker 27s from 1984 to 1986; all were leased to Chicago Air during 1986, until this airline had to cease its operations within the same year. The Fokkers were sold; this one here flew for Jersey Airlines and later in India as VT-UPD until 1998. The airframe was still in existance at the time of upload - used for training by an aviation academy at Mumbai.

Originally flying with Executive Airlines 1968 - 73, N652EX is pictured arriving at Sawyer County Airport (at the time known as Hayward Municipal Airport). Hayward was the smallest community with regular commuter service in Wisconsin. The aircraft was sold to Mesaba Airlines in 1979, later going to Bar Harbor Airlines in 1986 - 90, becoming N218BH. Last with Freight Runners Express as N199CZ from 1994, the aircraft is current there at the time of uploading.

Delivered as N240MA.

Delivered new to Midstate in March 1969, serving until sale in October 1980.
