This airframe was originally delivered to SABENA in October 1956 as Convair 440 OO-SCO. It served until sold to Frontier Airlines as N73163 in November 1967 and was converted to turbine power as a CV580 in March 1968. It subsequently had a number of other owners and lessees until bought by JBQ Aviation in 1995 and stored at Roswell. Its hulk was still visible at Roswell at least as late as 2019, and fragments of its skin can now be purchased online as key tags.

This airframe was originally delivered to SABENA in October 1956 as Convair 440 OO-SCO. It served until sold to Frontier Airlines as N73163 in November 1967 and was converted to turbine power as a CV580 in March 1968. It subsequently had a number of other owners and lessees until bought by JBQ Aviation in 1995 and stored at Roswell. Its hulk was still visible at Roswell at least as late as 2019, and fragments of its skin can now be purchased online as key tags.

Taken on strength by the RCAF on June 21, 1960, this was the first Canadair built Rolls-Royce Eland powered Cosmopolitan. Converted to a 580 circa 1966, the aircraft specialized in VIP transport. Struck off strength in 1996 and supposedly registered C-FNCI it was stored at Calgary, AB. The aircraft was sold to Las Vegas Aircraft Sales And Leasing as N44A in 2000 but remained stored at Calgary as civil conversion was not cost effective. Ferried to Kelowna, BC circa 2012 with four other Cosmopolitans, the aircraft was later scrapped.
