Genuinely impressive to see a couple of Convairs still flying commercially in 2025! This one was delivered as a series 340 to Pan Am in 1954, registered N11160, later flying for LACSA as TI-1015C and North Central, Republic, and Gulf Air Transport as N9067R, before reaching Kelowna Flightcraft Air Charter in 1988. One interesting detail is that the paint scheme is apparently trying to cheat the shape of the tail to make it look more squared-off.
The Convair 5800 was Kelowna Flightcraft's name for a fuselage stretch that they developed themselves, certified in 1993. It was applied to just six aircraft, and this is one of them. It was built for the United States Navy in 1955 as a Convair R4Y-1, with bureau number 140994; passed to the civilian register as N14094, it was apparently converted to the stretch configuration in 2004, meaning someone still saw economic potential in the airframe when it was nearly 49 years old! Subsequently flown by Air Freight NZ as ZK-KFS, it was withdrawn from service at the end of 2015 and subsequently returned to Canada. I would cite that cliche about how "it belongs in a museum," but strangely it appears that it already has belonged to a museum. The National Museum of Naval Aviation apparently owned it at one point, according to an online listing, but it somehow remained in service anyway!
There's no other regional jet that looks like this! Arriving from Kelowna, British Columbia (YLW.)
In a rare moment of sunlight, getting a tow past the tomb of Pharaoh Cheops YVR (possibly.)
