Load em up and move en out Hoss! Little Joe is pleased to announce the addition of Bonanza Airlines flights to our historical database. 727 Senior Captain Brian Donaldson was kind enough to research the Bonanza flights and I have added them to the Hughes Air West database (who took over Bonanza). Mostly F27 flights with a DC9-10 flight thrown in. Enjoy and drive them cattle across the desert. Cut em in, ride em out, cut em out..Ride em in....Rawhiiiiiiiiiide!

Is that an F33, A36 or V35 Bonanza??

Pretty cool places to add to our list of airports to fly to!

Yeehaw!! We got both Riverside and El Centro, CA as new additional new DVA airports to buzz the towers at. Negative, the pattern is full...not!

There have also additional flights for Palm Springs (PSP), Phoenix (hot!), Cedar City (CDC), Santa Ana (SNA), Los Angeles (LAX), Vegas (baby!) and Ontario (ONT).
We now have DVA flight operations between Orange Co and San Diego airports in addition. Yay!

Bonanza really had some interesting operations back in the day and flew the wings off those F-27A "Silver Darts".

Pull on them cowboy boots, get your departure clearances and fly some Bonanza Funjets!

Awesome addition, Brian and Andrew! Nothing like the Imperial Valley in July! Watch out for those crazy Marines flying out of Yuma!
