Photo Comment

Delivered to to Skywest Airlines as N2685L in 1986 and operated for Western Express. Probably repainted in Skywest colours soon after this photo was taken as Western had been taken over by Delta. To Swiftair as EC-GUS in 1998 then to Gestavi in 2001 and Aeronova in 2010. Cancelled from the register in 2017.
