I'm not sure if this executive Convair was still flyable at this stage; it wasn't cancelled from the US Register until August 2012.

With the recent news that KF Aerospace was awarded Purolator's BC Feeder Network contract for another 10 years, the writing is now on the wall for the venerable Convair 580. The fleet is now down to just three aircraft which include one Convair CV-5800 (C-GKFS) and two Convair CV-580s (C-GKFG and C-GKFF). KF will be replacing the Convair fleet with three ATR 72-500Fs. Two of which will be containerized and the third being Bulk load. The ATR fleet is expected to replace the Convair's in early to mid 2025.

It had been leased from Edair Inc in January 1985 and returned just 2 days after this photograph. According to one of the Southern captains, this Convair contributed greatly to the downfall of the airline as it required a great deal of maintenance and flew very little. Southern Express had started operations in May 1984 and filed for Chapter 11 in December 1985. It ceased all operations by January 1986. Edair re-registered the Convair N440ED.

Already without engines and slowly being parted out.
