Looking very smart while serving the 101st FIS Massachusetts ANG (note 'Cape Cod' marks on engine nacelle), this machine was retired to Davis Monthan in 1975 and spent the next couple of decades stored there till bought by Classic Wings Corp, becoming N131CW in 1997. Went on to American Airpower Heritage, flying with the CAF Museum at Camarillo, CA in 11.01. Sold again in 4.09 and seen at Chino in regular USAF marks in 6.16

The Dart-powered Convairs were always a relatively rare sight compared to their Allison sisters. This one was originally CV-340 N727A with American Arab Oil in 1952, converted to 440 for General Dynamics (N7362) and then 640 in 5.66. Bought by PWA 5.67; to Wright 11.82 becoming N860FW. Later operated by Viking,Kitty Hawk and Rhoades among others; stored at Fort Worth - Meacham from 2000, fuselage only noted 2013

This is the 440 which famously became G-CONV but failed UK certification with Air Atlantique and is now preserved in Scotland. Originally flown by Mohawk and later Wright, Key and Basler. Became CS-TML with Agroar in 5.97 and first operated by Air Atlantique under that identity in early 2001 before British registration

Lovely line-up of propliners. Behind are Convairs from Aero B Venezuela and LAGE. The Air-Sea Convair served with them as HB-IMU, having been sold to Altas Corp in Sep 1980 and stored at Miami, still in Air-Sea colours. Sold to Mexico in May 1981 and seen still in service in the late 1990s with AeroCedros at Ensenada as XA-RYV. Wfu and scrapped in the early 2000s.

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
