Default Astar?

Looking at ORD-CVG flights on flightaware.... There two daily listed flights for Astar. I thought they were out of business? Anyone know what that's about?

That's crazy town!!
ASTAR hasn't flown a 727, let alone a 727-100 Whisper Jet since 2009. And the Company shut doors in 2012.

Has to be some kind glitch/artifact in Flight Aware system.

It's probably that mob in Peru with the 73 and 72 DC-8 using the call sign.

I'd love to see those brown uniforms again though.

If it's a 727 my bets its interjet west. Not sure if they have -100s though?

Imagine seeing an L188 again, now that would be cool!

It's most likely just canned flight plans that were never removed from the system, so they pop up every day.
