"Kuapaka‘a", Aloha Airlines' N738AL (c/n 28499), a 737-73A(W), was ferried to GYR (Phoenix Goodyear Airport, AZ) today by its lessor, the Wilmington Trust Company. It will be stored there for the time being. I guess it could be the same for the other 737-700Ws and 737-200s AQ had under lease.
N738AL was the first 737-700 delivered to AQ that kicked off their west coast service. It's seen above on the AirService Hawai‘i ramp being prepared for the non-stop flight to GYR (as N738AL) that would depart a few hours after I got this shot.

And there it goes. Note that long ago OGGturbojets used to live in Goodyear, AZ...
Forgot to say,"End of an Era" on this one.
So all of the Aloha 737 NG's were dry leased?
I am assuming that Aloha pilots flew this trip. Anyone know?
Hard to tell, but right now Flight Aware seems to show N738AL may have been diverted to Tucson.
I would think the pilots ferrying the AQ birds to VCV and GYR are contract pilots for the lessors.
