Photo Comment

Built in 1953 as CV340 N3447 for Northeast Airlines but never delivered, it was sold as I-DOGU with Alitalia and converted as a CV440. In September 1961 it became YU-ADN with JAT Jugoslovenski Aero Transport, and served until March 1974 when it returned to the USA as N94436 with a leasing company and converted as a CV440F. It was acquired by Aviateca, whose basic livery it was still wearing when photographed, in Guatamala as TG-ABA in March 1976 before being restored as N94436 in January 1979. It is said to have been written off in April 1980 but the details are unknown.
