Starliner 75 seen departing San Diego on the first day of the year in 2015. I was fortunate to be in town while the airport's border fence was being replaced, allowing for unobstructed photographs.

Descriptions of the Model 118 ConvAirCar say that it had a Crosley car engine, but it seems likely that the whole car body was supplied by Crosley, although it was not a standard model. Following a flying accident on 18 November 1947, a replacement car in a lighter colour was used. Photo from: Convair

Developed from the earlier Convair 116 ConvAirCar, conceived by Ted Hall, the Convair 118 was basically a car body supplied by Crosley with a detachable wing, Lycoming O-435 aero engine and tail unit. The prototype NX90850 first flew on 15 November 1947, but crashed three days later. It was rebuilt with a new car body, which is likely seen here as it was lighter in colour. Convair dropped plans to build 160,000 copies of this flying car. Photo from: San Diego Air & Space Museum

The CV-240 prototype was fitted with Allison 501 (T38) turboprops, becoming America's first jet-powered airliner when it first flew as the CV-240-21 Turbo-Liner on 29 December 1950. The project was apparently led by Allison and the aircraft was registered to GM in 1951. It is seen here with the Convair XF-92A, 46-682, which was painted white in 1951. The CV-240-21 was unsuccessful but N24501 continued to be used for Allison 501 testing until 1959 when it was converted back to Double Wasp power. Photo from: San Diego Air & Space Museum

One of three Coronados used by Varig. They had been ordered by REAL in 1960. Varig operated the Boeing 707 and the DC-8 too and did not want to take delivery of the CV-990, claiming that it could not operate from São Paulo - Congonhas at maximum take-off weight as promised, but Convair proved that it could. PP-VJE to Alaskan Airlines in 1967 as N987AS. Leased to Aerovias Ecuatorianas in 1968. To Modern Air in 1969 as N5603. Crashed at Acapulco in 1970 after a ferry flight.
