Another unusual visitor in Salem for the second day in a row! I noticed on FlightAware that a Fairchild SA-227 Metro III operated by Pak West/Sierra Pacific Airlines landed in Salem earlier in the afternoon. So I decided to head over and see if I could get a look at it since I've never heard of this airline, nor have I seen a member of the Metroliner family in Salem before! Sierra West Airlines operates on-demand air charter flights for passengers, cargo, animals, and time-sensitive medical services and materials throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, as well as the Caribbean with a fleet of Learjets, Falcon 20s, and Metroliners. The airline's cargo flight's are typically operated under the the Pak West Airlines brand with the call-sign "Platinum West."
