ABC Airlines  Piper PA-23-250 Aztec B                           (c/n  27-2770)

                              

                                    ABC Airlines was a small scheduled commuter line which operated from Ontario Airport to LAX
                                    with intermediate stops at Cable-Claremont Airport and Fullerton.   Here one of its three Aztecs is
                                    seen at Fullerton in 1966.   It appears to have operated from early 1965 until sometime in 1966.
                                    Seemed like a good idea at the time, but load factors were such that profitable service could not be
                                    maintained and the line folded.   N5654Y is a 1965 model and was brand new when I took the above
                                    photograph.  It was, until recently (2007) still currently registered to an owner in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.
