I really like the pic in the top right hand corner. the old HP colors look lovely on the F70 and it is neat to see how much PHX T4 has changed. In that it appears the second B peir is still under construction and does anyone else notice the AWA logo on the hangar?

There were two Fokker 70 aircraft operated by Desert Sun Airlines, a Mesa Air Group subsidiary, under a code share with America West Express between 1995-1997. The first two city pairs were PHX-GEG and PHX-DSM.
They were replaced by CRJ-200s in 1997.
Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from surviving bad judgement.

I got to board the 70 in LAS when the aircraft first arrived. It was a beauty! The plane was brand spanking new, and the interior was sweet. IIRC, leather seats, light tan in color. The plane had not flown passenger service yet, as the ground crews were getting trained on the type. Wish it would have worked out for HP. I fell in love with the Fokker 70 after that.

Slight correction...I think The GEG route bombed and it was the first yanked and HP pulled out of GEG - until returning in 2000 or so.
