Photo Comment

Built as a piston powered 340 for United Airlines and delivered in December 1953 as N73142. Converted to a 580 for Lake Central Airlines / Allegheny Airlines in 1967 (N5837), it would later fly with Commuter Airlines and Freedom Airlines. Air Ontario added it to their fleet in 1984. Sold to Canair Cargo in 1990, the freighter was scrapped at Saint Jean, QC in 1994.
