I believe it is a company that hauls bank records and canceled checks for several diffrent banks. Not 100% sure, but fairly certain.

Go to Section 2 and look for any callsign you need.

Looks like timmer's correct.

The FAA site says "US Check Airlines," but it actually is what is called AirNet Systems... they fly piston twins, Cessna Caravans, and Lear 35s.

Star check could be similar to "flight check" which is a callsign used when the FAA sends a team to check out an airport. I heard them at Shemya , Alaska and at Grantley Adams airport in Barbados. Flight Check checks out the navaids, ILS's etc. to be sure they are working and complying with regs. Star Check could be checking out arrival patterns or STARS.

Could be??? Dont know for sure.
