Sharing the ramp at the KF Aerospace Museum in Kelowna with recently retired CV580 C-FKFA

C/N 002, this CV-580 was the main fixture out front the KF Center in Kelowna until the Conair one showed up. Nice to see this early example so well preserved. Some great history here, and well worth the visit!

Its long career with Honeywell over, this lovely Convair has made its last flight to Kelowna where it is on outside display at the fantastic new KF Centre for Excellence in Kelowna. New museum and a lovely place to visit. One more Convair to escape the cutters torch thankfully.

Seen in Kelowna whilst visiting KF Aerospace. After decades of service with Honeywell this beauty was retired and exported to Canada in November 2019. It is believed it will be part of a new museum being built in Kelowna by KF Aerospace.

This fabulous old-timer is pictured about to touch down on rw16R. Honeywell's expertise is found throughout Boeing's airliners; from the APU at the back to the FMC at the front so not surprising they have a facility at PAE where their test aircraft can be seen.

Pictured from the magnificent Future of Flight 'Stratodeck' and about to depart rw16R on another test flight.

Originally a United Airlines Convair 340 delivered September 2, 1962, this aircraft has been with Allied Signal Corp, an American aerospace, automotive and engineering company as a Convair 580 since 1992. First registered N580AS, the registration changed when Allied Signal bought Honeywell in 1999 and the company adopted their name and identity.
