Pacific Western Airlines Convair 640, CF-PWY, photographed from the original observation deck unloading passengers in the rain at Vancouver International Airport in September 1973. Many decades would pass before 'jet bridges' were introduced at YVR for turboprop services. PWA repainted this aircraft a few years later in a blue and white colour scheme. After PWA it was operated by Aero Trades Western Ltd., Worldways Canada (1982-1983), Air Niagara (1983-1994) and then leased back and forth between Time Air and North Canada Air at least three times between 1987 to 1993, then retired.

Built in 1952 for Continental Air Lines then, after numerous ownership changes and conversion to CV580, it was imported for Kelowna Flightcraft as above in 1997. I spoke with its tech. support guy at KF Aerospace in October 2022 who said it is one of four still flying for Purolator Courier (as here) and there were no plans to retire it.

Missing its engines, 501 is now a parts bird to support the remaining 3 (or 4?) flying CV-580s in the fleet. In behind is former Air X 737-500 9H-YES which wears a fake Canadian reg of C-GUNA. Sistership 9H-AHA (C-GUOE) was broken up last month. Also visible are a few United MAX 8s getting cabin fitting done at KF.
