CV440s then CV600s. They flew to DET (Detroit City), CMH (Columbus) and DAY (Dayton) IIRC. That was as a 121 operator. Before that they flew DH114, BE-18, TWin Otters (DHC6) IIRC. Part of the problem was the auto industry (primary potential customers) didn't have a need to go to DET. So when they did fly there they still had to rent a car and drive to the various plants. They even offered YNG (Youngstown) DET traffic if the airport/industry would guarantee them a break even. City turned them down. That was in the late 70's - early 80's. Not sure the stand alone market is there even today.
