Send in the Jets! covers the period long before Canadair and Embraer introduced a line of regional jets when US commuter carriers in the 1980s outgrew the limitations of their props and had to make due with the DC-9s, F-28s, and BAC 1-11s that were on the market.
Cascade Airways, Royale Airlines, Britt Airways, Aspen Airways, Air Illinois, Empire Airlines, Altair, Mid Pacific Air, among others, are covered in this feature. Also a look at three airlines Air New England, Dolphin Airlines, and Coleman Air - all of which were on the cusp of jet services when they called it quits. Coming Soon!
