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.

Last operated by Renown Aviation from 1995 until stored at Roswell NM and the registration cancelled in 2002. Last known still stored there in poor condition.

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.
