The very first Convairliner, first flown as NX90849 from Lindbergh Field in San Diego on March 16th 1947. Subsequently registered to various corporate owners as N24501, N112G, N192L and N195L and finally N240BN in 1976. Notably, in 1950 as N24501. the aircraft was converted to a Convair 240-21 with two Allison 501 turboprops and became the first turboprop airliner to fly in the USA. Later converted back to piston power, and despite surely being an airframe worthy of preservation, the aircraft was sadly scrapped after several years of storage at Opa Locka.

After having spent about 25 years on outdoor display in slowly deteriorating condition, this Convair was moved indoors for restoration in May 2021. The result of this restoration can be seen in this photo. The right outer wing and nosegear doors were present in a nearby hangar and still had to be attached. Click on the registration or c/n to see the timeline for this aircraft. Note that during the restoration the aircraft's name was removed from the nose.
