[ – Chalk’s Ocean Airways was founded by Arthur “Pappy” Chalk, and started ad-hoc charter operations as the Red Arrow Flying Service in 1917. After Pappy Chalk served in the Army Air Service in World War I, he returned to Miami and commenced scheduled service between Miami and Bimini in the Bahamas in Feb1919 as Chalk’s Flying Service. It was renamed to Chalk’s International Airlines in 1936. Acquired by the ressurected Pan Am company and renamed to Pan Am Air Bridge. A court elected that Gulfstream International Airlines take over operations and re-launch it as Chalk’s Ocean Airways on 17Dec1999. The airline suspended operations after the crash of Chalk’s Ocean Airways Flight 101 on 19Dec2005. It had planned to resume flights between Fort Lauderdale and the Bahamas under its earlier name of Chalk’s International Airlines on 09Nov2006. On 30Sep2007, the United States Department of Transportation revoked the flying charter for the airline, and later that year, the airline ceased operations
