Several redundant military transports are seen here in one of the dealers' yards adjacent to Davis-Monthan. 54-2811 never left and was presumably broken up; the ex-US Navy aircraft beyond, 141026, was sold to Kelowna Flightcraft as C-FNLZ and converted to a stretched Convair CV-5800 in Aug 2000. It remains active as of 2024 with IFL Cargo, as N371FL.

Built 1956 and delivered to Sabena June 1956. To Aviaco as EC-APT in 1959 and then to Transporte Aéreo Militar in Bolivia as TAM-44 in May 1972. On 27 October 1975, it departed Tomonoco en route to La Paz-El Alto Airport, carrying military officers and their families. Flights departing Tomonoco to La Paz must climb to FL100 to cross the peaks of the Andes Mountains. Because it was overloaded, it failed to attain that level and crashed in the Cerro Colorado Mountains NE of La Paz. The aircraft was destroyed and all 67 occupants killed. It was the worst Convair 440 accident.

This is a VC-131D acquired from Rovos Rail in South Africa, ferried to HARS in August 2016. Built in 1954 as a 44-passenger transport for the USAF, it was effectively a militarised CV-340 and was allocated 54-2820. Stored at MASDC from 1988, it later became CP-2237 and YV-914C before sale as ZS-ARV in 2001. On acquisition by HARS, painted at Wonderboom in the colours worn by TAA CV-240 VH-TAQ in from 1948 to 1954, although there was never a long-nose Convair in Australian airline use. This is the fifth time reg VH-TAA has been used. Absolutely splendid it looks anyway.

This is a VC-131D acquired from Rovos Rail in South Africa, ferried to HARS in August 2016. Built in 1954 as a 44-passenger transport for the USAF, it was effectively a militarised CV-340 and was allocated 54-2820. Stored at MASDC from 1988, it later became CP-2237 and YV-914C before sale as ZS-ARV in 2001. On acquisition by HARS, painted at Wonderboom in the colours worn by TAA CV-240 VH-TAQ in from 1948 to 1954, although there was never a long-nose Convair in Australian airline use. This is the fifth time reg VH-TAA has been used. Absolutely splendid it looks anyway.
