Under maintenance at the time, this 1954 Convair 580 (ex TAM-73) flew again for the Bolivian Air Force, only to met its demise in a crash 22 February 2005 at Trinidad. The aircraft crash-landed on muddy terrain just after takeoff following engine problems. Twenty-eight people were injured. The wreck lingered around for a few more years.

Long term storage since 1992 for this Convair 580 TAM-70 with msn 94. TAM operated another Convair 580 with the same serial and msn 39 which was sold as N81MR in 1979.

A Convair 440 delivered to National Airlines in 1956, this airliner was bought by North Central Airlines in 1963 and converted to turbine CV580 standard in 1968. It remained in the fleet through the name change to Republic Airlines and merger with Northwest Airlines. To Time Air in 1990, it would later fly with Canair Cargo from 1992 - 98 before joining Nolinor. Air Spray bought Norlinor's CV580s in 2021 for their engines and propellers for use on their Electra airtankers. C-FTAP's airframe was donated to the Time Air Historical Society while the rest were scrapped at Mirabel, QC.

Stored after a period of operation with Metroflight under the American Eagle brand. Reportedly sold in Colombia as HK-3616X but seized by the Mexican authorities in 1992 when it was caught being used in a drugs-smuggling operation.

Even in late afternoon winter sunlight, the heathaze was dramatic, but leave this beauty without a photo?.........no way!
