From a cancelled order, this Convair went to the German Air Force 1962 - 74 via the Hughes Tool Company. Kelowna Flightcraft bought it in late 1979 for their charter operations. It was sold to Powell Air when that airline received Powell River to Vancouver authority in the summer of 1981. Returning to the USA as N204RA in May 1987, the airliner operated for Renown Aviation and later Laredo Air, before withdrawn and stored, first in Opa Locka, FL and moved to Roswell, NM circa 2000.
