Altair introduced jet service with F-28s in 1980. The airline ran out of cash while introducing DC-9s on longer flights in 1982 and declared bankruptcy in November. This F-28 was bought by Empire Airlines and it followed mergers into Piedmont Airlines and US Air. Sold to Horizon Air in 1998, it was withdrawn in 2002 and stored at Moses Lake, WA.
