Immaculate Convair ready for a short flight to George, showing her mighty prop blades to advantage. This classic can trace a line right back to 1953 when delivered to Delta Air Lines as a piston-powered CV-340. In the background is freighter ZS-SKL

One of my favourite Convair shots recalling the days when Aspen ran a smart fleet of multi-coloured 580's (plus for me a nice flight to Colorado Springs on one). Also visible behind is one of their new 146's. This 580, acquired from Allegheny in 10.78 went to Kelowna as C-GKFU in 1.92 then Air Freight NZ as ZK-KFU in 4.95 but sadly crashed at sea off New Zealand on 3.10.03

After conversion from CV-340 in 2.67, continued to fly for Allegheny (N5820); to Seair Alaska 4.78, Kelowna 9.87 (C-GKFQ) and Evergreen (N580EH) 10.88. Sold to Aerovias Especiales de Carga 2.90 then Aerocar 6.94. My friend Nicky from Switzerland was with me and took the same shot - when his was published in the next JP, they cloned out the 727 behind as it if had never been there! Aircraft taken by Colombian Army as EJC121 in 8.96 and operated in same basic colours
