No airline operated Convair 990s to Australia so the smoky arrival of N5615 was greeted with much excitement by aviation enthusiasts. It was on a charter flight that commenced in Boston and included overflights of the North and South Poles and a landing at McMurdo in Antarctica. The flight was a fundraiser for the Richard E Byrd Polar Centre in Boston (hence the spelling of the aircraft name). An attempt to fly the same route in 1970 was scuttled when the US Navy, out of safety concerns, refused permission to land at McMurdo.

Starting out as N5602 with AA in 1.63, this CV-990 was acquired by Spantax in 4.69 and is seen here stored in a line with six of its sister-ships, all of which were b/u in 1991.

Modern Air Transport had a base at Berlin Tegel and three of their eight Coronados were at LGW for a West Germany-England soccer match that wet day. The 1973 oil crisis was a blow for these thirsty jets, not helped by rules to fly at a fuel-inefficient height of 10,000ft in the Allied air corridors over East Germany. Modern hoped to switch to DC-8s and DC-9s but ceased flying in 1975. N5624 went to Nomads as N990E, then Galaxy. Wfu at FLL in 12.85, to Christ is the Answer in 1990 - obviously not as scrapped 4.91
