Flying as a 340 with United Airlines christened "Newark" from 1952 to 1959, Gem State acquired this 580 from Frontier Airlines. They would quickly merge with Air Pacific (USA) to form Golden Gate Airlines and a year later merge with Swift Aire before closing the doors. This Convair went to Sierra Pacific, who occasionally leased it out, until the registration was cancelled in 1995.
