Golden Gate was Formed in merger of Gem State Airlines and San Francisco based Air Pacific March 1, 1980. This Dash 7 was delivered new May 7, 1981, but Golden Gate had bought struggling Swift Air in January 1981 to increase their California presence. Unfortunately they had to cease operations August 20, 1981 when the US Air Traffic Controllers strike worsened losses beyond their ability to cope. Last with Linea Turística Aereotuy as YV-637C, the aircraft is stored at Caracas, Venezuela.

Golden Gate was the short-lived product of a merger between Gem State and Air Pacific in 1979. In early 1980, Air Oregon, the first operator of N4860J also joined, but the venture didn't survive long after a further merger with Swift Aire Lines in 1981. The aircraft ended up as N701GA with Gulfstream International but was broken up at FLL in 10.00

This Nord was only with Golden Gate for a matter of days, and had lost the titles by the month after photo. She was the first N.262 in the US, joining Lake Central from new in 8.65 as N26201; after Allegheny merger sold to BC (PW) Airlines as CF-BCU in 3.70. Reverting to the US reg in 2.72 with Ransome, she went to Swift Aire as N411SA in 10.79, back to Ransome 6.82 and Pocono 1.86 (both Allegheny Commuter). Pocono suspended ops in 1.90 and the Nord went into store at Wilkes-Barre, PA; no longer extant
