PANHANDLE AIRWAYS
Panhandle
Airways was incorporated in December 1976 and commenced flights between
the Florida panhandle cities of Pensacola, Panama City and Tallahassee
in 1977. The airline flew Beech 18s and is reported to have also leased
a Douglas DC-3, N4996E, from Florida Airlines for a short period.
Panhandle Airways ceased operations in early 1978.
These scans are from an undated timetable from 1977.
Although
the Beech 18 was the primary aircraft type flown by Panhandle, AeroTransport.org
reports that the airline also leased Douglas DC-3 N4996E (msn
12141) from Florida Airlines for a brief period. Shortly after the end
of its airline career, N4996E was destroyed during a drug smuggling run
when it ground looped in a Florida sugar cane field on December 14,
1978.
NEXT AIRLINE: PBA - PROVINCETOWN - BOSTON AIRLINE
