A Convair 440 delivered to United Airlines as N73138 Mainliner Boise in June 1953, Lake Central Airlines would take over the aircraft in 1961 and upgrade it to a CV580 in 1967.

In 1969, Great Lakes Airlines began upgrading their fleet with two Convair 440s bought from Swissair. Four more 440s were brought on-line before the airline switched to Convair 580s around 1976. This is former HB-IMK "Neuchatal", that was originally flown in the basic Swissair colors, until the next aircraft from Linjeflyg introduced a new color scheme based on that airline's cheat lines. To Key Air Lines in 1976as N30KA, the aircraft eventually sat out it's days in Florida after the mid 90s. The registration was cancelled in 2012.

Starting out as a 1953 440 for United Airlines, this Convair was with Lake Central Airlines when it was converted to a 580 in December 1966. Merged with Allegheny Airlines in 1968, it was withdrawn and stored at Marana, AZ in the mid 70s until sold to Great Lakes in August 1976. Renamed Air Ontario in 1981, the Convair left Canada in 1988. Written off during a maintenance ground run when the main undercarriage collapsed and the propeller damaged the fuselage at Brownsville-South Padre Island International Airport, Tx January 18, 2018. It was registered XA-TRB with Air Tribe.

Starting out as a 1953 440 for United Airlines, this Convair was with Lake Central Airlines when it was converted to a 580 in December 1966. Merged with Allegheny Airlines in 1968, it was withdrawn and stored at Marana, AZ in the mid 70s until sold to Great Lakes in August 1976. Renamed Air Ontario in 1981, the Convair left Canada in 1988. Written off during a maintenance ground run when the main undercarriage collapsed and the propeller damaged the fuselage at Brownsville-South Padre Island International Airport, Tx January 18, 2018. It was registered XA-TRB with Air Tribe.
