This Jetstream was number 34 off the HP line registered G-AXRE in 12.69. She was selected by Century Aircraft Corporation for conversion from the French Astazou turboprop to the Garrett TPE331 in 1975, thus pointing the way forward for the later J31 series. Sold to TAAN as YV-625C in 8.92 and stored at Tamiami as YV-1878

This is the only flyable B-17F left in the world, now preserved at the Museum of Flight in Seattle (a mile from where she was built in 1943) after restoration beginning in 1991 to original condition as 42-29782. A civilian career followed a post-war period in a public park in Stuttgart, AK began in 1953 and included crop spaying, fire fighting and appearances in three films, the last of which involved ferrying to the UK for the making of 'Memphis Belle' in 1989

The very first Convair jetliner to be built, serving as company demonstrator initially registered N801TW in 1.59, then N8489H on certification as CV-880M. To TWA re-configured as standard 880 N871TW in 10.64 and wfu at Kansas City 12.73. AJI had great hopes of remarketing 14 of the 25 ex-TWA 880s but it was not to be. N880AJ languished at Mojave till nose removed for display in Atlanta and centre fuselage taken to Minneapolis for film about Sioux City United DC-10 crash

Golden Gate was the short-lived product of a merger between Gem State and Air Pacific in 1979. In early 1980, Air Oregon, the first operator of N4860J also joined, but the venture didn't survive long after a further merger with Swift Aire Lines in 1981. The aircraft ended up as N701GA with Gulfstream International but was broken up at FLL in 10.00
