Delivered to United Air Lines as CV340-31 N73156 in 1954. To Frontier Airlines in 1959 and converted to a CV580 in 1965. To Metroflight and operated for American Eagle in 1981. Traded in to SAAB then to European Air Transport/DHL as OO-DHH in 1988. It was being converted to a freighter for them by Hamilton Aviation when this photo was taken. I could not positively ID it. It could be OO-DHI. Transferred to Swiftair as EC-255 then EC-GHN in 1996 then to SkyCongo as ZS-SKI in 2005. Stored at Kinshasa by 2009. Probably scrapped.
