Stored in a scrapyard in Cincinnati is this incredible rarity, one of the few surviving examples of the Convair 880. Broken up at CVG in May of 1986 (though the registration N48058 was not cancelled by the FAA until November of 2012!). Still recognizably in the colors of Cathay Pacific, where she flew as VR-HFT, even after all these years in the weather.
