Both Smith and Darby are now retired airline.. Smith via Hughes Airwest-Republic-Northwest and Darby United.
Smith didn't sell to Darby, Darby left FAPA because of differences and started AIR,Inc out of his garage in early 90's. Smith's FAPA went out-of-biz in late 90's, Darby bought assets. Smith started FltOps.com, then bought Darby's assets this month when AIR,inc shut down. Full circle?
