A Convair 440 built for Varig, but not taken up but was instead delivered to Venezuela for Avensa in 1956. Converted to a 580 in 1969, the aircraft sold to Plymouth Leasing in 1979. Leased as N589PL to Air New England, Sierra Pacific Airlines and Prinair over the next ten years, it was bought by Kelowna Flightcraft with the re-used registration C-GKFP in 1990. Pictured flying seasonally for Wollaston Lake Lodge, the aircraft was sold to Nolinor Aviation in 2005. On August 3, 2011 the nose gear collapsed landing at Kasba Lake Airport, NT , damaging the aircraft beyond repair.
