So a
bonus question. How could Air West possibly have been involved with a BAC One-Eleven order ?
Well, I believe it was the intention of Bonanza Air Lines to operate the BAC One-Eleven but they may have been prevented from doing so by the CAB before they could take delivery of several of the aircraft.
Bonanza ended up ordering the DC9-10, of course, so perhaps their One-Elevens were still on the BAC order list when the merger with Pacific and West Coast was consummated forming Air West.
