Thank you! Took a quick pause from the remaining USAir birds to do a couple of United Express quads: United Express (opb Westair Commuter) N295UE, 1989 And one operated by Air Wisconsin as N609AW, 1993: I'm planning to do the Battleship version of the Air Wisconsin -200 as well, after the USAir fleet is done.

First of the Russian requests is finished: UTAir 737-524 VP-BYL, 2016 Also, here's another relatively rare BAe-146-100 of Royal West, a short-lived airline out of Las Vegas. They started operations in June 1986, ended scheduled service in February 1987, but continued charter ops into early 1988. This is their route map as it existed in November of '86, though they did also fly to Elko, NV and Fresno, CA at some point. www.departedflights.com/YM110786.htmlRoyal West's short existence also led to this curious hybrid- after N801RW was disposed of by RW, it spent a short time with Dan Air in the UK before being registered N720BA and leased to AirCal, then in the process of merging with American. As this was right about the time that their merger was closing with American, it retained its existing livery and received American titles, the same as most of the rest of AirCal's fleet. This is also the same airframe Tony painted when it flew for PSA as N5828B.

I'll add my nicely done on the Royal West. I had been considering doing them but never got around to them and you did the 146 perfectly 😃.

Thanks guys! Another rare bird for the fleet- I know Delta is Jim's area of expertise, but I decided to take a stab at one that hasn't been represented yet. The first eight MD-88s were actually delivered as MD-82s in early 1987, but within about a year or so they had received the EFIS and tailcone upgrades to become full -88s, so they didn't last long in this configuration. The livery also differs slightly from the widget already represented here, with small Delta titles at the door and a large gap between the metal and black nose. This is N902DL as seen roughly in October of 1987 when it was virtually brand-new:

Trying to paint this tail was a bit of an adventure, but I think the result turned out alright! Here's N909DA, one of Delta's MD-90s as it looked in 2006:
