Although not nearly the "smoker" that the 880 was, the 990 left plenty of evidence that it had applied power to pull off the gate. This one went on to become OD-AFF with MEA, and ended its career as EC-BZP with Spantax.

No airline operated Convair 990s to Australia so the smoky arrival of N5615 was greeted with much excitement by aviation enthusiasts. It was on a charter flight that commenced in Boston and included overflights of the North and South Poles and a landing at McMurdo in Antarctica. The flight was a fundraiser for the Richard E Byrd Polar Centre in Boston (hence the spelling of the aircraft name). An attempt to fly the same route in 1970 was scuttled when the US Navy, out of safety concerns, refused permission to land at McMurdo.

Starting out as N5602 with AA in 1.63, this CV-990 was acquired by Spantax in 4.69 and is seen here stored in a line with six of its sister-ships, all of which were b/u in 1991. This one however survived until dismantled in the mid-Nineties. The forward fuselage is now maintained as a simulator at Girona

Modern Air Transport had a base at Berlin Tegel and three of their eight Coronados were at LGW for a West Germany-England soccer match that wet day. The 1973 oil crisis was a blow for these thirsty jets, not helped by rules to fly at a fuel-inefficient height of 10,000ft in the Allied air corridors over East Germany. Modern hoped to switch to DC-8s and DC-9s but ceased flying in 1975. N5624 went to Nomads as N990E, then Galaxy. Wfu at FLL in 12.85, to Christ is the Answer in 1990 - obviously not as scrapped 4.91

The Convair 990 was never used on scheduled services into Australia, so finding one parked on the TAA maintenance apron was a surprise and a treat.

Delivered to AA in 6.62 as N5618 and after a period with MEA, bought by Spantax in 1.72. Looking magnificent in her later colours on what was probably one of the last trips to the UK, this Coronado was eventually set aside at Palma for preservation by the excellent Museo del Aire, but has been under threat of eviction from its site which is on Air Force land. During 2017 major efforts were made by the Salvemos el Coronado de Spantax group to save this significant airframe
