You're correct. Flightaware lists it as a 24F (N56MM).24
Perhaps a 24?
The point was, you don't see the straight turbojets anymore in the States.

Think I flew on that RJHawaiian Airlines main local competition back in 2010. I think every Island Air Dash 8 had a different tail design, at least I never saw one repeated, anyway. I had never imagined that 9 years later I'd be buying a $29 ticket on Southwest HNL-OGG 24 hours before the flight.
Wish I could’ve made it out to Adak. It’s interesting seeing 737s going to Cold Bay.View attachment 57753crappy picture, but a cool bit of history on display in Adak that I hadn’t noticed before.

I bet! Good thing you have a bunch of ex Penair guys over there.It’s definitely some unique and enjoyable flying, even compared to all the other stuff AS does in the state.
An afternoon in LAX no so long ago when the majestic super A380s had a clear presence. Now the Air France and Lufthansa A380s have gone the way of the British Airways 747, but for now, Emirates, Korean Air, and Asiana still have the type, though stored for the most part.
I miss seeing Qantas period. Was happy to see they'd doing some LAX cargo flights. Most of my hilarious stories are about Qantas. Those guys were my biggest fans and I loved them right back. Some highlights were me clearing out a QF 747 and him just going, "Hey Ramp, what kind of socks does a pirate wear?" WTF LOL?!. I asked him "what" and he replied "Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgyleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" as the plane rolled along. Another time an inbound 747 called and said, "Hey ramp, Qantas 73 overhead the field". Hmm wtf? "Uh, Qantas 73 go head sir". "We just couldn't wait to say it, AHOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! See you in a few". LOL! Also once replied to a "thank you" from them with "Thank you for Fosters". The pilot literally went on a rant during a departure bank about how Fosters is piss water and I should never even joke about that and there was squelch after squelch with blocked calls and a plane slowing to a stop inbound on Alpha blocking everyone headed to 01R and the FAA hotline started ringing with him STILL going passionately and I about pissed myself and told them "Sorry Qantas is lecturing me about beer, just send in Alaska". "What?" *click*We still occasionally get the China Southern Super coming into LAX, but thats pretty much all we see of them now. Used to be times working the IRNMN where you could have back to back Supers, and send Socal into a tailspin. Can't wait for them to come back someday
I think what I miss the most is the QFA guys coming in the early AM. That used to be such a mess to sequence, needing to get 15 Miles behind each Super, but damn it was kind of fun to sort out the Pineapple Rush into LAX all by yourself at 5AM.
