PP-YRF
Convair 340-62
(c/n 200)
In 1954 REAL-Aerovias Brasil
purchased six Convair 340s new from the manufacturer. PP-YRF
was the
last one delivered. This one and sister ship PP-YRE were bought
back by General Dynamics
(as
Convair was then) in1960 and retroactively converted to CVAC 440
status. They were sold to
All Nippon
Airways in 1961, this one becoming JA-5085.. PP-YRF eventually
gravitated back to
the U.S
and is still currently registered as N156JR.
