Photo Comment

California Air Shuttle was a new airline based out of Oxnard, CA., with 2 two leased Metroliners, the other being N1010Z. Flights from Oxnard to Las Vegas started in January 1990 but were limited to Las Vegas as plans to add service to Bay Area airports failed to gain approval. Sadly the airline struggled to fill seats, and with increased fuel costs due the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, it ceased operations in December 1990, less than a year after starting.
