DC91-Midway-N1066T-031 - a photo on Flickriver

            Midway Airlines was a United States airline founded on August 6, 1976. Although it received its operating certificate from the CAB prior to the passage of the Airline Deregulation Act in 1978, it is widely recognized as the first post-deregulation start-up. The airline commenced operations on October 31, 1979.
The airline was intended to breathe new life into Midway International Airport, then called Chicago Midway Airport, which had lost most of its scheduled flights to O'Hare International Airport. The airline took its name from this airport. Midway Airlines and the revitalized airport were advertised as a trouble-free alternative to O'Hare, and both of these spurred re-development and growth on Chicago's South Side. The airport was billed as a convenient ten- to fifteen-minute drive from downtown Chicago.
The airline went bankrupt in 1991 and was dissolved in 1992. A group of investors bought the airline's name and started a new separate company called Midway Airlines, which flew from 1993-2003.
MIdway Airlines operared 9 DC-9-10s and 55 from the series -30.
N1066T (DC-9-15 c/n 45780 l/n 93) was delivered in March 1967 to TWA as N1066T. Sold back to Douglas in October 1979, the plane was immediately leased to Midway Airlines that in April 1980 bought the plane. In 1991 following the Midway Airlines collpase, the aircraft was stored in Mojave to be sold in April 1992 to Intercontinental Colombia as HK-3710X. In June 1995 the aircraft was leased to TAESA of Mexico as XA-SYF. It was written-off and stored in MEX on Nov. 24th 1999.
Slide dated October 1987 (but I am not sure of the data in my database...) showing the plane in the revised and final Midway Airlines' color scheme.
