N81248 — - * Not my photo *br /Photo of Mohawk Airlines F24W which was found by Mr. Larry Myers as he and others were cleaning out abandoned files (paperwork, newsletters, photos, etc.) from a building that had housed the HQ offices of Mohawk Airlines. Rather than send the pictures and newsletters to the landfill, Larry took possession and when no one wanted any of the items, Larry stored the items as memorabilia. Many years ago, when I shared some old pictures of Mohawk Airlines aircraft with him, he sent me two CD discs full of photos he had salvaged and scanned. He used to have a website, but I am not able to find it now. Also, I am not able to contact him now, either. I do know he had been struggling with a very serious illness issue, and I now fear that he may no longer be able to continue his Mohawk site. So, while earnestly praying that Larry is doing OK, I am sharing this photo from Larry Myers's Mohawk Airlines Memorabilia Collection.  It is easy to understand why Larry was anxious to preserve the photos and newsletter items, and my sincere Thanks to him for doing so.  Because of his foresight, this historic photo was not destroyed.

The original photographer is unknown. Mr. Larry Myers saved this excellent picture from being buried in a landfill, and he shared it with me on a CD disk many years ago. On behalf of him, I am sharing this outstanding pic here on FA.

I've just discovered I've been entering an incorrect ICAO Airline Code for Mohawk. For many years, whenever I've posted a Mohawk photo, I've been entering MOH but the correct code is MOW. I will correct the code on all the Mohawk Airlines photos I have posted. Give me about 10 minutes, and then, if interested in seeing all of them, simply go to SEARCH, scroll to Airline, and enter MOW. I apologize to all for my error. (gcs)
