Delivered February 25, 1955, I believe this Convair was with the Arizona National Guard when photographed. Withdrawn and stored at MASDC September 24, 1986, it would later be released as N60225.

Here with the Arizona ANG and now in the Miracle of America Museum and Pioneer Village, Polson, MT.

Former USAF 53-3816, the last 367 built. In storage since the late 1980s, though she has only lost her tail in the last couple of years (it's laid down on the right stabilizer). After retirement from the USAF, this airplane was used for a short time for flying bread for the Bimbo Bakery up on the Mexican Baja Peninsula. She used to make regular maintenance visits to Tucson during this time period.

Delivered to US Navy as a PB4Y-2 BuAer 59763 and redesignated to P4Y-2 in Jun 1951. Sold to Honduran AF in 1956 as FAH792. Returned to USA as N7237C in 1963 and here retains its FAH colors on the rudder. Flown as a fire bomber with SS & T Aerial Contractors until it crashed near Safford in Arizona on 27 June 1974 killing owner George H. Stell and his son.

After a 46-minute flight from San Diego. N6825 served American from new in January 1969 until sale in May 1993. It still wears the early circular version of the fin markings.

"Spirit of Pueblo" was built in 1935 and served as an executive aircraft. It is seen at Tucson in 1973 when still being flown. Later preserved in Virginia.

This 727 was delivered to TWA in 2.80 and wfu at Kansas City just over 20 years later. The Legend DC-9 is N923LG, now in service with Air Gemini as D2-ERS. What I hadn't noticed until just now is the remains of the old R Thai AF C-123 Provider 64357 tucked away between the sheds on the left - I first shot that there in 1979!

One of 224 Packets built for the USAF (as 44-23033), of which about half were offered to the civil market from 1954, some undergoing Jet-Pak conversion by Steward-Davies with the addition of a J34 jet on top of the fuselage. Without this, the aircraft's engine-out performance was virtually zero. This one was not converted and was last registered to New Frontier Airlift Corp in Feb 1962, although still in USAF marks when seen here. Wreck noted during 2001 at Davis-Monthan in the yard of National Aircraft, Kolb Rd.
