stepping into fire
With the recent launch of Evening star, tonight marks their second and brand new flight, Baku-Denver, a 12-15 hour flight using the recently delivered A359ULR aircraft. With this though, horsepower initiated another war they may not be ready for and that war is against the other mountain airline giant of the US: Rocky Mountain Air.
With this initiation into Denver, Horsepower is directly facing mass competition from Denver’s biggest airline, but the CEO seems to almost not care. In fact, he almost was acting as if he was planning a alliance with the airline, but many mentioned that rocky mountain air was a part of star alliance, not tranquility.
This flight has hsd it’s aircraft land in Baku and is scheduled to leave tomorrow at sunset, with landing in Denver expected around 13:00 MDT
a strange sight
Today in Sydney, something strange appeared. Among the other horsepower Australia A318s and BAE 146-100s, a Teton Link (Horsepower hopper branch specializing in connecting the Teton mountain range, in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming) DHC6 was seen landing on runway 16R, with radar showing it bound for Lord Howe Island.
This sight confused many spotters, and it also begged the question: how does a American registered aircraft (N-JKSN) make it all the way to Australia?
This question was answered in the same interview that the new evening star flight was announced in:
“the aircraft was originally bound for IDA international, but there was a mixup in orders, and a Teton link DHC6 was swapped for a horsepower australia one, and vise versa, mensing that in the coming weeks you should be seeing a horsepower australia DHC6 at JAC, seeing as that’s where it’s bound for right now.”
