Oh no!! I loved spotting Great Lakes at KDEN. Always a nice surprise to see the B1900ās mixed in with all the heavies. lol. Do you know where all the planes will be going?
Never a happy moment in aviation when an airline closes its doors. But as most of you guys know Great Lakes often carried the title of āGreat Mistakesā. I canāt say if this were ever true and canāt shed light on this but there will be no other āGreat Mistakesā Airline after 3.5hrs from now.
Two of the last Great Lakes Airlines flights in the air. Hat off to an āinterestingā airline. So sad to see them go. Their Beechcraft 1900D were iconic for me at Denver, parked on the ramp. Iām flying again in one week but never thought the day would come when I would never see them again. #GreatLakes#SadDay
Weāve talked about it but most of those planes are pushing 100,000 hours. I donāt have that kinda free time! (Iām the 1900 program manager at Ameriflight BTW lol)
