Photo Comment

Originally delivered to Canadian Pacific Air Line in September 1953 as CF-CUT. As seen also here in AirHistory.net, it has more colorful c/s earlier, but got this one most likely after 1983 when owned first by company called Vortex Air International as N11VX and then Universal Air Equipment Leasing as N9779N. Companies which flights favored low visibility. Bought by Florida Aircraft Leasing on January 1990 and ferried to KFLL, where broken up spares by April 1992.
