Photo Comment

Christened "Flagship Chicago" when delivered to American Airlines in 1948 as a Convair 240, N94205 was converted to a 600 for Trans Texas Airways in 1963. Viking International bought the aircraft in March 1980, sold it to a leasing company the next month, leased it back and operated it until 1994. Kitty Hawk Air Cargo leased it until 2000 when it was withdrawn from use and broken up the following year.
