Notes:

Wearing the full colors of failed Alaskan commuter carrier Pen Air, but is actually now a cargo aircraft operated by Castle Aviation. Castle Aviation has been flying Saab 340s on a APA-LGB-HWD-APA route often for the last few months doing some kind of pet or animal charter work. What a treat to see this aircraft in full Pen Air colors over 1 year since the carrier failed and merged it's assets into Ravn Alaska.
