Default Kiwi 727 by Skyline

I flew on this one a few times back in the 90’s. I distinctly remember being served a full hot breakfast (pancakes and sausage yum) on a short one hour flight between Orlando to Atlanta.. Acquired from Collectors Aircraft Models made by the now defunct Skyline Models..

That looks pretty nice for an older model! I've not heard of them but there are around nine entries in the database for Jet Wings. All Convairs and DC-8s. This model isn't listed so I assume there must be a few more at least! Congrats!

Thats because I was wrong. It was made by Skyline models and there are several in the DIMA Database. I have since corrected my error...Thanks for pointing it out!

Cool 727. I've been after a Skyline American Eagle (Trans States) Jetstream 31 for a while now - never seen one show up anywhere I've looked. I've never seen any Skylines 'in the flesh' at all for that matter.
