I can understand why management doesn't allow museum planes for propilot. Maybe a few times a year though maybe it could be allowed? The An-72 is a sweet ride, but it sucks fuel. Those engines have a lot of horsepower, and as fellow pilot on another forum said, "those extra horses need to eat." A new hub in the western US like KSAN, KLAX, KSFO, or even KPHX could open up flights to Hawaii and Asia. In fact, now that I think about, maybe Honolulu Intl. (PHNL) would make much more sense as a new hub than what I mentioned in my first post. It would open up flights to Asia and Australia, while also serving Alaska and the western continental US.
The top 3 museum planes I would love to see brought back to regular service for propilot would be Concorde, the Il-96-300 (using the freeware Kirill Konovalov Il-96) and the An-72
