RED CARPET AIRLINES
Red Carpet served St. Petersburg, Key West, Tampa, and the Cayman Islands with a fleet of Douglas DC-3s and Convair 440s. In 1981 the airline changed its name to Aerosun International.DC-3 N700RC (msn 11628). Red Carpet's DC-3 flights between St. Pete and Grand Cayman took a staggering 4 hours and 40 minutes including a refueling stop in Key West.
Robert Decker sent in this interesting note:
As a teen, my girlfriend Claudia and I were lucky enough to escort a live dolphin (keeping it wet in a hammock), to Flipper's Sea School in Marathon Key then on to Key West on the actual plane you have a photo of for RED CARPET AIRLINES. We went diving in the Keys and got to hang with folks at Flipper's Sea School. And yes, they did have a cargo area and some of the seats removed. I later moved to Key West and used to fly on Air Sunshine (Known in Key West as "Air Sometimes") quite a bit to and from Miami, and of course this was before they had any jets in the late 70's.
