Cascade Airways Fairchild Swearingen
SA-227AC Metro III N1014T
(c/n AC-432B)
Cascade acquired a number of Metro IIIs in the early
1980s. Six of them were ordered new
from Fairchilds,
although several previously owned machines were later added, including
N1014T
seen above in
this nice shot by Eduard Marmet taken at home base Spokane
International in Aug-
gust 1983. This aircraft
was leased from Houston Aircraft Leasing. By this time
Medford and
Eugene, Oregon had been added to the route structure, and Cascade made
the claim, at the time
to be the
"Northwest's Largest Commuter".
