It's wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky, Behind me and before me is God and I have no fears.
— Helen Keller, at age 74, on flight around the world, news reports of 5 February 1955

Air Chathams Convair
A regular visitor to Wellington is Air Chathams with their General Dynamics Convair 440/580's, in this case, ZK-CIB. Here are a couple of pictures of the aircraft, first arriving, then of its later departure.
Still just love the Convair. We used to get several visit each week in the fall. Both as football ( Clemson University ) charter and in cargo configuration ( mostly IFL ) supporting the automobile industry around here.
They are quickly fading even as a cargo hauler in the U.S. Pity
