Airline Description: Orbit began in late 1957 with a single DC-4, flying charters from DC to Orlando so politicians could watch rocket tests at Cape Canaveral, later expanding during the Space Race as people traveled south for historic launches. Orbit has grown past their charter-flying roots, now operating a network of transcontinental, transatlantic, and Caribbean routes. As an homage to their origins, flights from DC to Orlando still fly as Orbit 001.
