It was interesting to see Aad's photo of this aircraft at Miami a year later in a totally different livery. This photo was taken only days prior to its delivery flight to Guatemala.

Originally 53-3274 in USAF service, this Liftmaster emerged from MASDC as N50293 in 2.78, becoming C-GKFF with Conair in 6.85. Acquired by Aerovias (YV-501C) in 10.87 but wfu by 6.88. On to Aero Ejecutivos as YV-501C then 9Q-CJP of Transair, later EL-WIL. Offered for sale at Rand for $160,000 to include DC-6 c/n 45201 but scrapped 2004

There are dull and rainy days in Miami too... This former Air Anglia / British Air Ferries / Air UK Herald (ex G-BCWE) is starting its engines for the return flight to Guatemala. It had only flown with Aerovias for three years when it was stored at Guatemala City in 1991. It was still there in 2000 in very bad shape, and although unconfirmed, it seems likely that it was scrapped a few years later.

Ex Conair C-GKFF. Only flew with this Guatemalan carrier for less than a year, so I was very pleased to get it in front of my camera. It was delivered to Aerovias in October 1987, and withdrawn from service in July 1988. It later flew as YV-501C, 9Q-CJP and EL-WIL, before ending up in storage at Johannesburg-Rand, South Africa in 1997. It was broken up there in early 2004.
