Cayman Airways

 BLOG # 1588 --- Day 321 of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine

                                                             GLORY TO UKRAINE


I'm back again. Guess I'll start today the way I ended yesterday - with an aircraft / airline card. Here we have another B737-200, VP-CKX in Cayman Airways colours. This aircraft's first flight was on October 11, 1984. It started out with British Airways from 1984-1995. Then Cayman Airways took it over from 1995 to 2008. It was stored at Victorville between 2008 and 2009. Late 2009 it was moved to Marana Airpark for storage and later scrapped. 



 Jean Pierre used 3 stamps on his card. The left stamp is from 2014, 1 of 3 in a set issued for Christmas.  The right stamp, issued in 1979, is 1 0f 7 Commemorating the 25th Anniversary of the Owen-Roberts Airport. Now the middle stamp, the interesting one to me, the stamp collector. It Commemorates the 50th Anniversary of Cayman Airways . The airline was founded in 1968. The stamp was issued in 2019 and has the date 2019 on it.  Why 2019 I know not, that is 51 years since the airline was founded. A mystery to me , but I'm sure someone knows the why. 




That's it for today, a much shorter update than my usual. Thanks Jean Pierre for this one. 


Cheers.
