23866 was originally delivered to Istanbul Airlines (on lease from Guinness Peat Aviation - GPA) as TC-ADA in October 1988. It then went to GECAS, where it was leased to China Xinhua Airlines as B-2969 in March 1996. Boullioun Aircraft Holding Company (BAHC) acquired 23866 in March 1998, and leased it to Cronus Airlines as SX-BGH, which was acquired by Aegean Airlines. In September 2009, Wells Fargo Bank purchased 23866, and leased to Sky King (5K/SGB, "Songbird").
Fly Guam is a new venture by Freedom Air (Agana, GU) that will provide service among the western Pacific islands.

Nice work on the skin doublers between the cargo and back door. I bet she's not low on cycles.
Flyguam is not a venture by Freedom, at the time being Freedom is out of the picture, the money is coming from a Hong Kong based company called WAI.
nice looking airplane. I love the reef design. Looks like a flattery of Frontier Airlines livery.
I give these guys about six months.....
@aviatorhi: According to my sources, WAI is financing Fly Guam, & Freedom is doing staffing except for the ACMI part.
@Blue Wave 707
Outside of possible ground services support (not MX though) and handling (baggage) Freedom is no longer involved, in all probability this outfit won't last more than 6 months... according to my "sources".
I'm watching this plane as SGB-688 leaving TPE via planefinder.net now(Taiwan time 17:25 10/08 2011)
