Yes you might see them around they will probably operate like Ameristar. And just but here and there out of the blue and depart 3 hours later and won't be back for a year.

Yea its too bad....
As 727C47 say we have lost another 727 operator. Unless they use the 727s for charter. Its amazing how in less that 10 yeas 727s have basically become extinct.

They used to come in fairly regularly, carrying horses.

Well they still might do them, it says they will still operate some charter flights. Its daily service, such as at EWR is stopped. Capitol Cargo has picked up their route to/from Bermuda daily.

Obviously if they are going to run bare bones charter stuf the fleet is going to drop off. I wonder where those delicious 737's will go if that is going to be the case.

Didn't those used to be run by Express.net? Are they out of business now as well?

Yes, Express.net did run some of the horse flights - this is from October 2006, actually the same morning as the last Tomcat flight.
