Beech 99, N203BH (msn U-5) is one of two early serial number Beech 99s stored at Peterborough Airport (seen as recently as Sep. 2021) for more than 20 years. The other aircraft is prototype/first production Beech 99 N212BH (msn U-1). Ontario Aircraft Sales and Leasing acquired numerous Beech 99s in the later 1980s/early 1990s and stored them in Peterborough awaiting resale. The Beech 99 played a very important role in the development of the US commuter airline industry and an example of this historic aircraft should be preserved.

Retired 1989. Still in the colours of former operator Texas International Airlines.

A surprisingly small number of airlines flew this Convair over 40 years. It was first delivered to American Airlines as a Convair 240 in August 1948. Sold to Trans Texas Airways in July 1964, the airliner was converted to a Convair 600 in 1967 before the airline name changed to Texas International Airlines. Bar Harbor bought the aircraft in March 1979 and flew it until 1989 when is became a Continental Express commuter. Registered to International Turbine Service in May 1989, it was broken up for parts and the registration cancelled by 1992.
