Built as a 440 ordered by Real Transportes Aéreos but delivered to General Motors (N5123) August 1959. Converted to a 580 in May 1960 and flying with GM until August 1994. Cypress Airlines brought the airplane to Canada the first time in 1996 (C-GTTA). It would later fly with Air Inuit and Hydro Quebec before going to Pionair, first as ZK-PAL and later VH-PAL. The aircraft was ferried to Canada in 2009 to become C-GYXS and stored in Conair's compound without the registration markings.

Delivered January 6, 1971, but due to budget constraints was put into storage before flying with 433 and 434 Sqns. Transferred to the Aerospace Engineering Test Establishment at CFB Cold Lake in 1989, it would move to 419 (Moose) squadron in 1990 for training. Painted in this special color scheme, it would appear at many airshows across North America before the type was retired in 1995. Mounted at Fulton Field airport, Kamloops, BC named for 419 Squadron's first commander W/C J. "Moose" Fulton.

Originally 44-35893 this Invader went on to the civil registry June 1958 as N4812E. Bought by the Rock Island Oil & Refining Co for a Monarch 26 conversion that never happened. In 1974 Conair brought it into Canada as C-GHCC for fire fighting. Sold to Air Spray in 1982, it was lost in a hangar fire October 16, 2000 at Red Deer. Sections of the aircraft remain in the field north of Air Spray's hangar there.

Bede built aircraft and was the original Bud Light Jet. The aircraft was later leased to Freedom Jets, who flew it without Bud Light titles on a military contract. It developed an engine fire on one of these flights with the pilot bailing out.
