With the recent news that KF Aerospace was awarded Purolator's BC Feeder Network contract for another 10 years, the writing is now on the wall for the venerable Convair 580. The fleet is now down to just three aircraft which include one Convair CV-5800 (C-GKFS) and two Convair CV-580s (C-GKFG and C-GKFF). KF will be replacing the Convair fleet with three ATR 72-500Fs. Two of which will be containerized and the third being Bulk load. The ATR fleet is expected to replace the Convair's in early to mid 2025.

Having been out of commission for over a year, it's nice to see this 70 year old Convair back in action. Seen here arriving from Victoria as "Flightcraft (KFA) 576" on the evening Purolator run.

Arriving from Kelowna on the once weekly LNG charter as "Flightcraft (KFA) 1550". It later departed for Terrace, BC. Always nice to see the elusive 737-600.

Kelowna Flightcraft added this DC-3 to their fleet in January 1990 for freight work on the west coast. It was normally dedicated to the Vancouver - Nanaimo Purolator courier run. On the evening of January 13, 1999, the connecting Purolater 727 was delayed inbound to Vancouver and the night's routing for the DC-3 changed to Vancouver - Victoria - Nanaimo. While flying to Victoria, the aircraft struck trees passing over Mayne Island trying to maintain VFR below clouds and crashed in a small valley.

A Convair 440 built for Varig, but not taken up but was instead delivered to Venezuela for Avensa in 1956. Converted to a 580 in 1969, the aircraft sold to Plymouth Leasing in 1979. Leased as N589PL to Air New England, Sierra Pacific Airlines and Prinair over the next ten years, it was bought by Kelowna Flightcraft with the re-used registration C-GKFP in 1990. Pictured flying seasonally for Wollaston Lake Lodge, the aircraft was sold to Nolinor Aviation in 2005. On August 3, 2011 the nose gear collapsed landing at Kasba Lake Airport, NT , damaging the aircraft beyond repair.

Let there be light! After an overcast day the clouds opened for this 8 pm arrival. Delivered new to Westjet as C-GWCY in 2006 and here with Aeroflyer positioning in from its Kelowna (CYLW) base for a charter to Ottawa (CYOW). This and sister ship C-GKFQ may be the only two 737-600 still in airline service other than Air Algérie. There are three registered to the USAF with N-numbers (out of an original six), but all others of the generic type appear to be in storage or scrapped. (If I'm wrong send in a correction message.)

Built in 1952 for Continental Air Lines then, after numerous ownership changes and conversion to CV580, it was imported for Kelowna Flightcraft as above in 1997. I spoke with its tech. support guy at KF Aerospace in October 2022 who said it is one of four still flying for Purolator Courier (as here) and there were no plans to retire it.

Missing its engines, 501 is now a parts bird to support the remaining 3 (or 4?) flying CV-580s in the fleet. In behind is former Air X 737-500 9H-YES which wears a fake Canadian reg of C-GUNA. Sistership 9H-AHA (C-GUOE) was broken up last month. Also visible are a few United MAX 8s getting cabin fitting done at KF.

Built for Hawaiian Airlines in 1953 but instead it was retained by Convair for prototype conversion to Allison turboprop. It flew as a test bed with a USAF serial number until 1960 when it was acquired by the FAA as N454. It then flew for a succession of non-airline operators until acquired by Kelowna Flightcraft in 1981. At some point it was upgraded to comply with the PacAero Engineering designed STC used on all subsequent CV-580 aircraft.
