This may be a tough one, but I am seeking out anyone (either stationed
at EWN or a flight crew member) who might be able to provide me with an
FH-227 tail number from the summer of 1973. I cannot recall the flight
number but I believe that the itinerary for this early afternoon flight was:

EWN-ISO-INT-TRI-CVG

I need this information so as to do an accurate drawing of this particular
aircraft.

Many thanks,
Marc Chenevert

Mark..Will the fleet guide help? We took delivery of10 of these A/C starting in 1966 and commencing in 1967. Tail numbers were N701U thru 5 and then 6 thru 10 and then N712. N712 crashed at CRW 8-10-68 but I guess any of the other tail numbers would be valid. I have a complete A/C history here somewhere in my packing boxes and will try to locate dates these A/C were phased out. I was in DAN in1968 when we lost N712 and in IAD in 1973. I was in ILM in the late fifties and we had an afternoon turn-a-round trip...392 in ,395 out that operated ILM EWN ISO RDU GSO INT maybe HKY im not sure and then LEX CVG. This would be the trip you are referring to I guess but I don t know what flight numbers was used on the Fokker A/C. I do remember that this trip terminated MRH (Morehead City) during the summer months rat her than ILM.

Verne:

Thanks for your prompt response. The flight you mentioned (ILM-CVG) does indeed sound like the one that I was on. If you can track down the
tail number of this plane, that is what I need.

Thanks,
Marc

Marc :
I think when Verne find his flight schedule, you fing flight 201 a Fh227 went -ILM,EWN,ISO,GSB,RDU,GSO,INT,TRI,LOZ,LEX CVG. i WAS A STATIO AGENT IN lEX AND FLIGHT 224 -CVG,LEX,TRI,HKY INT GSO RDU GSB ISO EWN ILM -AT NIGHT . ON SOME SCHEDULES THOSE FLIGHTS HAD 13 STOPS.

Marc:

I flew the F227;s for around 300 hours but got on the jets in 1969. As Vern Crisp said the numbers started at 701U. My logbook shows that I flew 701U on many flights. That would be a good number to use.

Iworked in EWN for many years and I believe the flight you are looking for is 229/252 which was a terminator/originator and it did hear up to ISO RDU INT TRI LEX SDF CVG...that's pretty close anyway..
