National Airlines Lockheed L1049H Super Constellation
N7131C (c/n 4828)
In the fall
of 1957 National put four Super Constellations into service on their
New York
to
Havana
route. They were later used on "Club Coach" services.
They augmented the
DC-6Bs
and DC-7s already in
service. The Super Connies were used until 1963 and
then withdrawn
and put into storage in
Miami. N7131C was
later sold to Nordair as CF-NAJ. It came to
grief
flying for Canairelief whilst landing at Uli Airstrip during the
Biafran Airlift in
1969.
