Delivered new to SABENA in 1955 as CV440 OO-SCS then sold to Frontier Airlines in 1968 and converted to turbo. Here it has just been imported by Kelowna Flightcraft, along with two others. All three are in Sierra Pacific livery and carry ferry registrations. This one was converted to fire bomber as C-FHKF for Conair then retired in 2022 and donated to the BC Aviation Museum. (For the record the other two were C-GEVB c/n 80, became C-FEKF and C-GEVC c/n 179, became C-FFKF.)
