Skyliner has always been an interest to me, considering it's garage just a stone's throw away. Founded by Hyon Sak Kim (profiled here: http://outstanding50award.com/index.php/info/12 ), Skyliner has a fleet of Van Hools, MCIs, TEMSAs, and vans. According to this: ( http://www.arcolasales.com/pressreleases/ ) it also has 4 CAIO G3400s, but I've never seen those. It had some Neoplan AN116 numbered in the 1000/2000/3000 range, as late as 2007 to my knowledge. At this point they're probably retired. The rest of the buses are numbered so that they end with 98. Why 98, I don't know. It does services for Volatour and New York's TV and Movie Tours, and also does service to the casinos from Flushing.It had a website up until 2011:

#51-53 are composed of the vans.
# 701-706 are composed of TS-35.
The #900s are apparently the G3400.
#1098-9998 (with some gaps here and there) are composed of a mixture of C2045, C2045L, and J4500. There are some 3x98, but I have yet to see a 4x98.
#1510/1520 are the new TX45, acquired very recently.

Skyliner has added another TX45, #1008. It has different numbering from the other two TX45. It still has a Florida plate.

Some nice looking equipment there! Looks well maintained.
