CONTRIBUTORS TO SUNSHINE SKIES

This site would not be what is today without the additional help of numerous collectors, airline employees and fellow aviation fans who have sent stories, photos and other materials. Your contributions are invaluable and much appreciated. If you would like to share your photos, timetables, postcards, route map, stories and memories with airline fans and researchers around the globe, please CONTACT ME, David Henderson.

Keep in mind that this website is maintained as a hobby and not for profit. The ads on the site make just enough to cover hosting and domain expenses. I do not and can not offer monetary compensation for submissions but I also do not profit from them.

Many thanks to the following contributors to the Sunshine Skies website. If I have accidentally omitted you, please let me know and I'll add your name!


HONORARY MENTION
First of all, I owe a great debt of gratitude to William Moriaty for his incalculable contribution to this project. Will's 2004 multi-part column on the history of Florida's commuter airlines ( parts 
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 ) was the spark that reignited my interest in this subject and served as the catalyst for the Sunshine Skies book, website, and ongoing research. He also graciously donated his large collection of commuter timetables, postcards, photos, aviation books and other memorabilia. Thank you Will!
