I was at San Juan PR's airport on my honeymoon in 1990 and as any buff will do I was keeping an eye on the active. I was pleasantly shocked to see a C-46 from Air Haiti go by. Paint peeling. It's burned on a neuron in my skull. 'Twas neat.

OK- just for grins I googled Air Haiti and wikipedia said they stopped flying in '82. I know what I think I saw, or I think I know what I saw. Any help?

Could it be that the new owner didn't bother to repaint ?

Thanks Cactus. That makes sense- they say memory is the second thing to go...

Like I said- it's burned on my brain and I know which year I was there
