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.
