TigerTigerM Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 One of the things I like about picking up small GA commuter aircraft is that you learn about obscure or lesser known airlines. This is a VCol Beechcraft 90 in the livery of Pilgrim Airlines. The history of Pilgrim is in part mentioned below: "Business Express Airlines (IATA: HQ), often referred to as Business Express or BizEX, was an American regional airline founded as Atlantic Air in 1982. In an effort to appeal to its predominantly business commuter clientele, the airline assumed the Business Express name in 1985. In 1986 Pilgrim Airlines (Groton/New London), which itself had acquired NewAir (New Haven) about a year prior, was acquired by the airline. This opened the valuable New York and Washington, D.C. markets. Shortly thereafter, Business Express became one of Delta Air Lines's first Delta Connection carriers, along with Atlantic Southeast Airlines, Comair and SkyWest Airlines."
