My earlier shot N3423 at Atlanta in 1979 shows her in the ex-North Central colours. Here she is respledent in the full Republic livery. By the time I saw her two years later she'd been repainted due to the Northwest takeover

Now that is one sharp looking Convair. Sold by Sierra Pacific to Laredo Air in 1.91 but remained stored and broken up a few years later. Began life as a United CV-340 in 1952, to Frontier in 1963 and converted two years later

In its infancy, Ryanair operated this Convair on lease from Partnair briefly on services to Eire. Shame their aircraft aren't quite so interesting nowadays! Originally a KLM CV-340 which later flew with Mohawk and Lake Central who had her converted to 580 before becoming Allegheny. After the Norwegian phase, sold as C-FKFL and now current with Air Freight NZ (ZK-KFH)

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
