Start-up Airspur began passenger and cargo flights around Southern California October 1, 1981. The airline ordered 10 IAI Aravas for the service, but only 4 were delivered. This was the third aircraft, but by December 1982, fixed wing flights ended as the airline switched to helicopters, having ordered 10 Westland WG-30s. Taken over by a leasing company, N701AE eventually ended up in Mexico. This photo is copyright © Gary Vincent, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
