Air Idaho was a short lived airline, which
was based in Twin Falls Idaho. From 1974 to December 1975 it
served Sun Valley and Twin Falls in southern Idaho connecting them
to Salt Lake City. The airline used a couple of de Havilland
DH.114 "Heron" aircraft which had been modified from the original
Gipsy "Queen" engines by fitting Lycoming or Contintental engines.
These typically lifted the original total power of 1,000HP to about
1,200HP.
The times for these flights are taken from
the December 1975 timetable available at the excellent
