Delivered new to Eastern Airlines as N9308 in May 1957. Registered in Bolivia to San Fransisco Servicios Aereos in July 1974 and bought by Cochabamba based North East Bolivian Airways in 1978. The airline was re-launched with US investment in 2003 to operate L1011 Tristars on charter operations and the redundant Convair was sold in Denmark with a plan to restore and preserve the aircraft at Copenhagen airport. The aircraft was ferried to Billund in August 2004 and registered OY-CVR but the project was cancelled and the aircraft scrapped at Billund in November 2006.
