This abandoned Convair is hiding in a remote corner of the airport of Morelia, near the end of the runway. An unpaved path leads to this airplane. It can also be clearly seen from highway 48-D, but not from the airport terminal. Google Earth shows the airplane painted in bright colors but these have faded or have been washed away in the Mexican climate. What now remains is a decorative cover that looks like urban-graffiti. If you look closely you can still read the registration XB-GNM on the tail and dorsal fin. Also note the very faded "Cariboo" titles on the fuselage, from its time with North Cariboo Flying Service as C-GRWW in the early and mid 1980s.
