It is a 767-200 JT9 plane. Flew a Dynamic contract with ATI last year to Brazil. It ended up at ATI in 2011 for trips from PR to Spain but that was axed by ATI because of millions in un-paid money. It sat for about 8 months in ILN before getting the Dynamic trips out of SFB in early 2012. Got pulled off that, early, and then sat in ILN, in open storage until May 2013 when ATI sold it off and had ABX fly it to MIA.

Now you know the history I guess :cool:

I drove by SFB the other day and saw 250MY and 767DA sitting on the ramp. So did we confirm Dynamic is doing the summer flying down to Brazil with those two birds? Also heard rumors Vision was trying to get in on the action, but they don't have a 767 right now.

I seems they are. They've done about 6ish flights over the past few weeks. DYA804-DYA806 and DYA500 so far that I can see.

I don't know about Vision because as you said, they don't have any 767s right now. Their main one (766VA) sat in ILN for months (per flightaware) and then ferried to GYR back in March. The CIA birds are just rotting away. I thought they were taking the same road as Swift (e.g. 737s only). Could be wrong.

swift only has 1 737 flying right now. They are doing sub service for world atlantic from mia to cuba. they did post FA positions, guessing that is for the fall sport charters
The 76 at swift was power by the hour type deal. nobody wants the -200s in pax config. so the owner made a deal w swift management that swift will only pay when the airplane is flying. that is why they laid off ALL the 76 guys when it went for a C check in NOV/DEC and Ezjet folded as well
