Rather devious, to be sure. And then there was Hawaii Jet-Air which made this claim on the cover of their timetable back in 1970:

HAWAII JET-AIR - THRIFT JET SERVICE TO OAHU, LANAI, MOLOKAI AND MAUI

This message was accompanied by a photo of three of their "jets".....all of which were Twin Otter aircraft.
