except boiler any mco operation on chq 135's would have been fed through stl, cmh, and sdf via dead heads to mco out of cvg. good luck to the mesaba guys or who ever ends up getting that flying. Floridia is nice and toasty that time of year!

there are plenty of guys here that'd love to have a MCO base open up again, but still remember what happened when we closed the last base there.
