A "Pamperjet" taxi's to the departure runway.

Getting some attention between flights, this CV600 had been painted in the new livery since I last photographed it in 1967.

Over the threshold for 33L at BWI in nice evening light.

Close parking dictated a creative solution to get a full length shot of this Convair.

Taxiing for departure at DAL, originally an AA CV240.

This CV-600 was lost in an accident in Maine with Bar Harbor Airlines in 1989.

This Convair was originally delivered as a CV-240 to American Airlines in 11.48 (same reg) as "Flagship Kalamazoo" and was sold to Trans Texas in 2.62, being converted to Dart power in 1.67. After storage as captured here, bought by SMB Stage Lines (see my later photo) and then Kitty Hawk in 10.91 and Rhoades in 4.00; b/u Columbus, OH

Here filling a water tank between flights, this DC-9 was delivered to Trans Texas Airways January 1968. In October the airline was renamed Texas International Airlines and this color scheme with the lone star on the tail was introduced. Merging with Continental in 1982, the aircraft flew on until sold in 1984. Flying in the USA as a freighter until 2002, the DC-9 went to Lineas Aereas Suramericanas as HK-4246X. It, unfortunately, crashed during an approach neat Mitu, Colombia December 18, 2003.
