EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Convair CV-600 N74851 (msn 118) of Central Airlines, circa 1967. The Convair CV-600 is a twin-engine, short-range airliner derived from the successful CV-240 model. In September 14, 1966, this particular aircraft underwent a significant conversion from its original CV-240 configuration. The sleek and elegant design of the CV-600 is evident in this image, with its distinctive winglets and streamlined fuselage. The aircraft's engines, mounted under the wings, are partially visible, adding to the overall power and presence of the plane. The Central Airlines livery adorns the fuselage, with the red and white stripes creating a bold and striking contrast against the blue sky. The CV-600 was a popular choice among airlines for its versatility and efficiency. It could accommodate up to 90 passengers in a typical two-class configuration, making it an ideal choice for short-haul flights. The conversion from CV-240 to CV-600 involved the installation of new engines, wings, and other modifications to enhance the aircraft's performance and capacity. This photograph captures a moment in time when aviation technology was constantly evolving, and the CV-600 represented the latest advancements in short-range airliner design. The image is a testament to the beauty and sophistication of this aircraft, and a reminder of the excitement and wonder that flying brought to people during this era.
