Eastern Airlines was retiring the last of their piston powered airliners when this Convair was photographed arriving in Louisville (they did temporarily acquire Convair 440s again with the merger with Caribair in 1973). N9313 went through several aircraft brokers when sold in November 1970. Flying again with Air Calypso (8P-FUN) 1973 - 74, the aircraft served with the Sri Lanka Air Force as CR-811 from 1973 - 82 (see much better photo 339308).

Kelowna Flightcraft obtained five former RCAF Cosmopolitans but an unsure market and challenges with certification resulted in all being scrapped except one which is 109152. It will be preserved and kept in Kelowna. 109157 was acquired in Panama City as HP-1445 and flown to Kelowna under temporary reg C-GPQY. The Canadair built Cosmos can be identified by the HF antenna hump on the top fuselage.

A newspaper in Curaçao printed this photo in 1955 and of course claimed that the KLM airliner had to wait for the train; however, a railway spur of German military origin skirts around the western perimeter at Hörsching. It seems odd, though, that this is a passenger train. Photo from: Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)
