A unique aircraft, the only Howard Eldorado 700 ever converted. It was initially converted from Lockheed PV-1 to a Super Ventura in June 1960, then to Howard 700 in 1966. It became N25YC in January 1971, but this was short-lived as it crashed on landing at Philadelphia Intl nine months later, on 11 September 1971. The registration N25YC was then re-allocated to a very similar aircraft (Howard 500 c/n 237-5854) in November 1971. The location is not 100% sure, so confirmation is appreciated. Photo via G. Bouma
