Convair
240-0 N641PH
(c/n 146)
Unlike
the medium range Martin airliners, most of the Convair 240s (and to a
lesser degree the
340s) found their way into
executive transport usage in the 1960s and 1970s. This was
American
Airlines' NC94269 "Flagship Wilkes-Barre". When
I took this shot at Long Beach in April of
1963, this aircraft was
being leased from Economy Leaseing Company by the contractor Paul
Hardeman Inc.
