Pictured ready to taxi, this Convair was delivered to Bethlehem Steel as a piston powered 440 October 31, 1957. They converted it to a Convair 580 in September 1964. The aircraft came to Canada in 1973 (as CF-NRC) for the National Research Council of Canada. It has had several color schemes over the years and is still current at the time of uploading.
