Pacific Air Lines  Fairchild F-27   N2771R               (c/n  43)

                                          

                                                 Pacific were doing so well with their California routes that in 1959 they ordered six (later
                                                 augmented with another six) F-27s new from Fairchild.  Here's the second one soon after
                                                 delivery at LAX waiting to be towed to the gate for another run to San Jose.  This aircraft
                                                 passed to Air West upon the formation of that company in 1968.
