Built in 1953 as CV340 N3424 for Braniff it passed to Allegheny Airlines in July 1966 who converted it to a CV580 and re-registered it N5815. Bought by Aspen in June 1978 it served until that carrier was merged with Air Wisconsin in 1991, when it was purchased by Kelowna Flightcraft and re-registered C-GKFO. In January 2001 it was bought by Conair Aviation and converted to air tanker #53; it was withdrawn from use in October 2021 and bought by Air Spray for parts and is now stored at Red Deer, AB.
