[MilCom] N524PA

[Tony Orr]

Hi guys,

Just to clarify one thing here:  Phoenix Air does not own, operate, or lease 757s.  According to my information, there is currently 1 757 on the USCAR with a registration ending in PA, and that is N740PA operated by Santa Barbara Airlines.

You might be thinking of N751PA which was operated by Pace for a time before becoming N750WL in Hooters Air colors and service.

Best regards,

Tony

Hmmm, wonder if ABC ever looked on the side of the press plane? When the 
prez travels, the White House books a plane for the press who are sent 
ahead of AF-1. They have been known to get 757s from Phoenix Air with 
N###PA tail numbers. The networks pay the bill but don't(didn't) choose 
the plane. If there is a 'plot', it could be a good one. :)
