Aircraft of Wings? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Ok we all know that the Cessna 402 is the plane for Sandpiper Air but what about Aero Mass! Sure Roy has the flights but what does Aero Mass have for Aircraft equipment? Here is a graphic I made from the movie Die Hard II. This is of NEA. Been watching Wings and wanting to do Sandpiper from logo at ticket counter to profile of plane.

I don't think they ever said what type of planes Roy had, but I'd assume they were Cessnas or some other type of smaller aircraft.

Cool picture!

To me it is like the Starship Enterprise to Star Trek when it comes to the TV show Wings.

Here are the actual operators at the Airport!

Cape Air http://www.flycapeair.com
Colgan Air http://www.colganair.com
Continental http://www.continental.com/express
Delta Connection http://www.delta.com
Island Airlines http://www.nantucket.net/trans/islandair
Nantucket Airlines http://www.nantucketairlines.com
US Airways Express http://www.usairways.com

A small FBO or Fixed Based Operator is named Sandpiper Air and is not located on Nantucket. Airlines at the real Airport that have the same equipment as "Wings" Sandpiper Air are Cape Air, Island Airlines, and Nantucket Airlines the rest fly Embrear (SP) EMB-120 or some Regional Jet.

Here is the real Sandpiper Air http://www.sandpiperair.com/ Located in New Bedford, Massachusetts.

There really is a Sandpiper Air? Wow! Is that just a coincidence?

Well come to find out the real Sandpiper was established after the T.V. Show. As you can see I am a Graphic Designer by the L-1011 above. I can't profit from even that graphic due to Copyright laws. Credit for plane and graphics go to those who hold rights to them even though I did draw it! Well since the Sandpiper that is real and is set up as an FBO or another company outside the production of a TV show I can see why it is established. Company names and Copyrights can only be with held within the same industry so some one doing the same thing as you can't use the name. Well I will do up a graphic for you "Wings Prop Heads"! As I am one also. I am also putting together a logo list in graphics from the Wings show Airwolf, Santini Air, Airplane"The Movie", Airport series, Six Days Seven Nights, Tommy Boy, Final Desent, Meet the Parents and Odd Couple II to name a few plus already presented Die Hard II.

Sandpiper Air is in New Bedford, MA - If these boys flew out of New Bedford, the flight would take about the same time as if they left Hyannis!!
