Fly Guam's N238AG


Fly Guam's first 737-4Y0, N238AG (c/n 23866, l/n 1589), is making its way from LAL (Lakeland Linder Regional Airport, Lakeland, FL) to GUM via LAS, OAK, and HNL. It's flying as SGB238A, with the 737 wet-leased from Sky King. The top photo shows N238AG after its arrival from OAK, and the above photo shows the reef fish on the tail logo.

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.

    @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".
