Pictured with Great Lakes Airlines, this CV580 was last with Air Tribe registered XA-TRB. On January 18, 2018, the aircraft suffered an unexpected partial landing gear retraction while mechanics were doing an engine run at Brownsville-South Padre Island International Airport in Texas. Shattered propeller fragments sliced into the fuselage causing structural damage. This photo is copyright © Gary Vincent, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
