    Description

    Piedmont Airlines used newly acquired Fokker F-28s to expand its Florida service — called the “Piedmont
    Shuttle” — increasing service between existing points and adding service to five new cities: Ft. Lauderdale,
    Gainesville, Key West, Naples and Tallahassee.
    Nonstop service was provided to Ft. Lauderdale from Jacksonville.
    No cachet was provided for inaugural mail.
    This cover was one of
    49 pieces of mail
    carried on the inaugural Piedmont Airlines flight from the Jacksonville, Florida Airport Mail Facility to Fort Lauderdale, Florida
    and
    is listed in The American Air Mail Catalogue as PI-D97Sf.
