Although painted in full Zest scheme after being inherited from predecessor Asian Spirit, this Dash 7 (one of five in store, the others all white) may never have operated in these colours

Lining up for the short roll on runway 14 for another run to Diani and Mombasa. Good to see a Dash 7 in action in 2010. One other was wfu and kept at Wilson for spares

Bought new in 12.78 by Rocky Mountain, which was merged into Continental Express in 9.90. Wfu at Amarillo, TX in 3.95 and later broken up

Eurocity Express was a pioneer operator at London City Airport from its opening in 1987, but with the acquistion of four new Dash 7s in 1988, changed name to London City Airways to better reflect their unique base. G-BNGF was ex ZK-NEX and became N703MG with Paradise Island Airways in 5.89 then briefly C-FEDO with Voyageur Airways from 1.05. To Conviasa in 8.05 as YV1003; rt u/c collapse at Porlamar 12.05; repaired, seen stored at Voyageur's North Bay facility from 2007

Seen outside at Medavia, this DHC-7 had not flown in many years. Sorry for the peek into the ladies' toilet.

During the early 1990s Pan Am Express operated several Dash 7's. This one, acquired in June 1989, was used to operate their 4 or 5x daily SAN-LAX flights. It is seen here at one of the many nice photo spots that could be found at San Diego's Lindbergh Field, affectionately known to some as Lindy Field.

Sold in Canada as C-FWZV in 1998
