A Convair 440 delivered to National Airlines in 1956, this airliner was bought by North Central Airlines in 1963 and converted to turbine CV580 standard in 1968. It remained in the fleet through the name change to Republic Airlines and merger with Northwest Airlines. To Time Air in 1990, it would later fly with Canair Cargo from 1992 - 98 before joining Nolinor. Air Spray bought Norlinor's CV580s in 2021 for their engines and propellers for use on their Electra airtankers. C-FTAP's airframe was donated to the Time Air Historical Society while the rest were scrapped at Mirabel, QC.
