Delivered new to Swissair as HB-IRT. This a/c is now at the Castle Air Museum painted as USCG HC-131A 5785.

This Convair is pretending to be a HC-131A, but in fact it's a Convair 240-11 (ex N280P) which never saw any military service. It was donated to the Castle Air Museum in 1999 and registered to them as N280P on 23 Jun 1999. By Dec 2003 it had been restored in nice USCG markings as "5785". By Jul 2008 those markings had been removed in preparation of a repaint, which is seen in progress in this photo. By Oct 2011 it was back in now very poorly done USCG markings, again as "5785".

"Glarus" served Swissair from January 1949 until sale to Mohawk Als as N1017C in May 1957. It is landing on Ringway's Runway 06 inbound from Zurich on the evening schedule. It wears the second Swissair scheme with white top and added cheatlines.

Swissair's first Convair 240 soon after delivery to Zurich and wearing the initial all-metallic scheme. Soon named "Graubunden". Sold to Mohawk in January 1957 as N1013C. From Swissair 60 years ago.

Swiss Air Lines "Neuchatel" taxies towards Runway 06 to depart on the scheduled service from Ringway to Zurich (Kloten). It still wears the original all-metallic finish with no white top yet added. HB-IRV served SR from February 1949 until sale to Mohawk Airlines in November 1956.

Rather poorly disguised as a US Coast Guard HC-131A, this is in fact a civilian CV-240. She first served with Swissair as HB-IRT, and then briefly with Transocean Air Lines as N1018C. Having become N280P she was for some reason seized by the sheriff of Salt Lake County in 1975. She was moved to Castle in 1999.
