Impressive lineup of five former RCAF CC-109's on the Kelowna Flightcraft ramp. Sadly, by August 2017, all but 109152/C-GLWF had been scrapped.

Former RCAF 109159 was one of five retired RCAF CC-109 aircraft parked on the Kelowna Flightcraft ramp in September 2014. Each aircraft had about 15,000 hours and, while the engines had been removed, they all appeared to be in good condition. I was told that they all had glass cockpits installed just prior to be retired by the RCAF. Due to the difficulty in getting them certified for civilian use and a limited market for CV580/CV5800 freighters, by August 2017, all but C-GLWF/109152 had been scrapped.

Former Trans Fair aircraft registered in 2018 to Hay River Air Services Ltd. A good assumption would be that the aircraft is owned by Buffalo Joe McBryan, who probably acquired it for its R2800 engines.

North Cariboo's only turbine Convair was first a 440 for Mokawk Airlines in 1958. It was converted to a Dart powered 640 by Spartan Aviation in 1967 and eventually registered in Canada as CF-PWO with Pacific Western Airlines in November 1971. Echo Bay Mines bought the aircraft in 1976 before North Cariboo got it in 1984. It was sold in the USA in 1986 to become N587CA flying freight for several airlines. Exported in 2015 and last seen at Saltillo, Mexico awaiting a new registration.

We were fortunate to be at Palmer when this spotless Conair Convair 580 arrived at Palmer for the Summer season where it is based for Fire Fighting duties. The colour scheme looks at home with the lovely background scenery of snow-covered mountains.

This was the first of three Convairliners operated by North Cariboo in the '80s. Bought in 1980, it would be joined by another CV440 and a 640. C-GRWW was sold to new operator Canada West Air in May 1986. That airline sold the aircraft in June 1989 as it moved to Convair 640s, but ceased trading in 1990.

This 1953 Convair was converted to a 580 in 1968. Pictured while owned by Kelowna Flightcraft and operated as Inter City Air for only a few months; the Convairliner went to Time Air in April 1985. Tragically, the aircraft was lost when it broke up in flight flying freight with Canair Cargo on September 18, 1991.

1956 vintage Convair started out as a 440 for Swissair. Ten years later it was sold to Martin's Air Charter (Martinair) as PH-MAL where it was converted to 640 standard. Imported to the USA in 1971 by Omni International as N640R. The aircraft joined the fleet of the new Zantop International Airlines in 1972 when they bought it in June. It went on to fly with Zantop for the next 25 years.
