And they were from ashes of Canada 2000 which was from Royal Airlines. My favorite dead airline was Crown Air. They were owned by PCO - Pest Control Ontario - really. They owned one DC-8 that was ex-Air NZ but claimed that they had three planes. There were no other DC-8's in passenger service. They started to get behind their schedule and by the end their flights were about a week late. We arrived on the Crown DC8 at FLL to clear US customs and then were to continue on to St Pete. But we were so late that the Customs officers had gone home. So we were held in a room with our luggage. I decided enough was enough. We grabbed our luggage and ran through an emergency exit with the FA chasing us. When we got to the hall, there was a sherriff walking her duty shift. I said I am entering the US through this door. She said "Welcome." The flight back was delayed three days.
