At the time the world's last surviving civilian Strat, this one was delivered to Northwest as 'Stratocruiser Chicago' on July 10, 1949. Stored by Aero Spacelines, but they did not use it in their Guppy conversion programme. Seen here still in basic NW colours, not long before being broken up - such a shame

The Control Configured Vehicle test NB-52E was fitted with three canard control surfaces (two horizontal and one ventral) which were linked to computers receiving flight data from sensors mounted throughout the aircraft monitoring turbulence, which fed back compensatory control inputs. Although here on 'Celebrity Row' next to the prototype for the Boeing 707, she was scrapped in 10.93

Joining the USCG in 7.76 after retirement by the USAF (52-5785), this Convair returned to DM AFB in 10.81 and was sold to Florida Aircraft Leasing as N27232 in 5.82, but her fate after that goes unrecorded

Joining the USCG in 7.76 after retirement by the USAF (52-5785), this Convair returned to DM AFB in 10.81 and was sold to Florida Aircraft Leasing as N27232 in 5.82, but her fate after that goes unrecorded

National took delivery of this airframe as a CV-340 in 1953. She was converted twice - first to CV-440 and then to a CV-580 in 1966. Sold to Avesca Colombia in 1991 but quickly seized by the Mexican govt. Wfu at Santa Lucia AB in 1993 but sold to Kelowna in 2000 as C-FIWN and most recently flying for Pioneer Air Cargo then Skyforce Cargo as VH-PDX

Originally thought to have been ex RCAF 9307 and to Mexico 8.3.74 (one of four CSR-110s supplied by Canada), but some doubt has now been cast on this aircraft's identity. Canadian Albatrosses had more powerful Wright R-1820-82 engines with an air scoop on top of the nacelle; this aircraft may in fact be one from two later batches of ex USN HU-16s, eight ex-DM in 1976 and four in 1978. Re-serialling later occurred and like many Mexican i/d's, this one is very difficult to verify

Originally delivered to the RCAF in 7.60 as 15503 (later 15923 & 106923) and sold to Andes in 9.73. Wfu at Guayaquil in 1.86 along with HC-AZH, also a Yukon. Scrapped late 1990s, although her sister ship was more fortunate and is now the world's last surviving 'normal' CL-44, having been moved to Cuenca as a bar/nightclub, albeit with an odd-shaped tail fabrication. Sadly, plans by the Canadians to repatriate her failed
