Northern Consolidated Airlines  Cessna T-50  N64700 

                                              
                                 
                                           Northern Consolidated operated eight Cessna T-50s (probably all ex UC-78s) on floats, ski
                                           and wheels.   The above PHOTO came from an NCA house journal in the 1960s.  The poor
                                           image immediately below is from illustration is from the Gordon Williams collection.  The floats
                                           on this latter aircraft look almost "home made", although I am assured that they were, indeed,
                                           Edo 61-5870s!    The third image shows another T-50 following a mishap at Ruby on the
                                           Yukon River.  Finally, at the foot of the page is another T-50 on floats, this one taken in the
                                            mid 1950s when fuselage registrations were in vogue. An example of a NCA Cessna T-50
                                            (N30023) has been preserved  at the Alaska Aviation Heritage Museum.
