PBA had a nice publication, "The PBA Flyer", which they were kind enough to send to me even though I lived in Michigan. It's a real shame the Van Arsdale sons managed to destroy in four years what their dad spent a lifetime building.
48a: Excellent job! I loved the 402 flights the most because I got to ride in the co-pilot seat, and the captain let take the controls between 5 minutes after takeoff and 5 minutes before landing (I was ~8 at the time). Note: I was always the only passenger on the plane during these flights.

But, the 404s and YS11's were my favorites because HYA didn't see bigger planes.

48d: In addition to Eastern Express via BOS, I had Continental via EWR in mind, but it's possible those flights were killed prior to 1992. Can anyone confirm?
