Bar
Harbor Airlines Beech 1900C N311BH
(c/n UB-16)
So enamored were Bar
Harbor with the Beech 99 (I wasn't, as a passenger in them) that when,
in
1985 they entered into a
code-share agreement with Eastern Airlines, they opted to augment their
fleet of 99s with sixteen
or so of this nineteen seat enhanced model
1900C. In fact, along with
Cascade Airlines,
they were the launch customer. The above shot, by Frank
Schaefer was taken
at Naples Municipal
Airport in August 1988. By that time Bar Harbor had merged with
PBA and
this machine was being operated
on the "Southern System" of this combined network, under the
Eastern Express
banner.
