Sunshine Skies - Updates

Dozens of new photos and route maps have been added to the site this week with big updates to the Air South, Eagle Airline, and Florida Coastal Airlines pages.

The astonishing clarity and color balance of photo restoration programs I've been experimenting with has given me renewed enthusiasm for updating the website.

Fun and exciting developments here at Sunshine Skies headquarters.

July 16, 2024 update: Earlier this year my messages were overrun with spam, someone tried to take over the Sunshine Skies facebook account and I also lost access to the associated email account for some time.
