Photo Comment

Built in 1952 for Continental Air Lines then, after numerous ownership changes and conversion to CV580, it was imported for Kelowna Flightcraft as above in 1997. I spoke with its tech. support guy at KF Aerospace in October 2022 who said it is one of four still flying for Purolator Courier (as here) and there were no plans to retire it.
