In the 1970s and '80s, this old Convair was operated by Texas Instruments as an avionics development aircraft. In 1991, they donated it to Ed Maloney's Planes of Fame Air Museum at Chino (CA), where in the early 2000s it was repainted in this attractive Western Air Lines livery. In the 1950s the aircraft did fly for Western, but as N8408H - not as N240HH. The museum restored the Convair to flying condition, and on 1 May 2008 it was flown from Chino to the museum's second site at Valle Airport, where it has remained ever since.

In the 1970s and '80s, this old Convair was operated by Texas Instruments as an avionics development aircraft. In 1991, they donated it to Ed Maloney's Planes of Fame Air Museum at Chino (CA), where in the early 2000s it was repainted in this attractive Western Air Lines livery. In the 1950s the aircraft did fly for Western, but as N8408H - not as N240HH. The museum restored the Convair to flying condition, and on 1 May 2008 it was flown from Chino to the museum's second site at Valle Airport, where it has remained ever since.

The CV-240 prototype was fitted with Allison 501 (T38) turboprops, becoming America's first jet-powered airliner when it first flew as the CV-240-21 Turbo-Liner on 29 December 1950. The project was apparently led by Allison and the aircraft was registered to GM in 1951. It is seen here with the Convair XF-92A, 46-682, which was painted white in 1951. The CV-240-21 was unsuccessful but N24501 continued to be used for Allison 501 testing until 1959 when it was converted back to Double Wasp power. Photo from: Convair / San Diego Air & Space Museum
