Freshly painted Delta Beech 1900s in KICT
 
Just saw several freshly painted Beech 1900s in the latest Delta scheme sitting in Wichita. Several tail numbers ended in CA. There were also several other 1900s not yet painted that had the old Mesa paint scheme. Does anyone know whose these airplanes are and who is going to be flying them for Delta?

BigSky had a short stint as a Delta Connection Carrier. They flew out of BOS for a few months, as well as CVG, but didn't last very long. On December 21, 2006, a press release announced that Big Sky would become a Delta Connection carrier, using eight Beechcraft 1900D turboprops out of Boston's Logan International Airport. East coast operations ended on January 7, 2008.
