North Cariboo's only turbine Convair was first a 440 for Mokawk Airlines in 1958. It was converted to a Dart powered 640 by Spartan Aviation in 1967 and eventually registered in Canada as CF-PWO with Pacific Western Airlines in November 1971. Echo Bay Mines bought the aircraft in 1976 before North Cariboo got it in 1984. It was sold in the USA in 1986 to become N587CA flying freight for several airlines. Exported in 2015 and last seen at Saltillo, Mexico awaiting a new registration.

We were fortunate to be at Palmer when this spotless Conair Convair 580 arrived at Palmer for the Summer season where it is based for Fire Fighting duties. The colour scheme looks at home with the lovely background scenery of snow-covered mountains.

This was the first of three Convairliners operated by North Cariboo in the '80s. Bought in 1980, it would be joined by another CV440 and a 640. C-GRWW was sold to new operator Canada West Air in May 1986. That airline sold the aircraft in June 1989 as it moved to Convair 640s, but ceased trading in 1990.

1956 vintage Convair started out as a 440 for Swissair. Ten years later it was sold to Martin's Air Charter (Martinair) as PH-MAL where it was converted to 640 standard. Imported to the USA in 1971 by Omni International as N640R. The aircraft joined the fleet of the new Zantop International Airlines in 1972 when they bought it in June. It went on to fly with Zantop for the next 25 years.

1956 vintage Convair started out as a 440 for Swissair. Ten years later it was sold to Martin's Air Charter (Martinair) as PH-MAL where it was converted to 640 standard. Imported to the USA in 1971 by Omni International as N640R. The aircraft joined the fleet of the new Zantop International Airlines in 1972 when they bought it in June. It went on to fly with Zantop for the next 25 years.

I couldn't get a photo with the sun behind me so I shot directly into the sun and it didn't come out too terribly awful. Thanks Mick for the editing help.

This fabulous old-timer is pictured about to touch down on rw16R. Honeywell's expertise is found throughout Boeing's airliners; from the APU at the back to the FMC at the front so not surprising they have a facility at PAE where their test aircraft can be seen.
