N676MG (cn 22554) Remember these guys? It wasn't that long ago that Champion Air had a contract with thirteen NBA teams, and was the airline the Cleveland Cavaliers used. With the loss of the NBA contract in 2008, higher fuel prices, and the operating economics of their aging 727 fleet, Champion Air closed its doors on May 31, 2008.

N676MG (cn 22554) This is for all the great folks at OPShots who enjoy & miss the Boeing 727. The beautiful jet exhaust stands out even in the overcast sky. When I back away from my monitor 3-4 feet, it looks even filthier.
