Ex-Avensa Convair 580 YV-53C, (note YV-63 behind), in temporary storage at Miami Intl. in November 1979. Later that month it went to Plymouth Leasing as N4806Q and converted to cargo configuration; re-registered N588PL it operated for a number of US and Canadian carriers and in August 1980, whilst operating for Interstate Airlines, it survived a wheels up landing on a foamed runway at Boston Logan after having an undercarriage problem. In April 1986 it was re-registered C-GNMQ with Nordair Metro returning to the US as N118GT in 1990, and is thought to have been scrapped at Detroit soon after.
