Hawaiian Airlines Acquires Four 717-2BLs

Hawaiian Airlines acquired four 717-2BLs from Boeing Commercial Capital (BCC), and are currently in storage at VCV. It's not known what Hawaiian will do with these 717s.

In honor of Michael Carter's passing several days ago, the photos in the links to the Midwest Airlines photos were taken by our late friend, and fellow aviation photographer.
