TransStar Airlines McDonnell Douglas MD-82

File Description:
AI Aardvark MD-82 in the colours of TranStar Airlines to go with James Hamelers' flightplans (transtar_airlines_summer_1986.zip). TranStar was how Southwest rebranded rival Muse Air after purchasing the company and making it a wholly-owned subsidiary in 1985. Muse Air had become profitable just prior to the takeover by Southwest, but the re-launched TranStar never made it into the black. By 1987 Southwest had tired of the losses and after unsuccessfully attempting to find someone to sell TranStar off to, the company was closed down in October of the year.
