EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Convair 580, specifically the Prop-Jet Super Convair N400J, as it gracefully taxis at Prestwick Airport in 1966. The Convair 580 is a variant of the original Convair 580 series, which was introduced by Frontier Airlines and later adopted as a popular designation for these aircraft. The Convair 580 is a twin-engine, propeller-driven airliner that was developed in the late 1950s as a successor to the successful Convair 340 and 440 series. The Prop-Jet Super Convair N400J in this image is a later model, featuring upgraded engines and other improvements that enhanced its performance and efficiency. Frontier Airlines, an American regional airline, was one of the first operators of the Convair 580, and the designation became widely used to refer to these aircraft in the industry. The Convair 580s served as workhorses for various airlines around the world, providing reliable and economical service on short to medium-haul routes. Despite the advent of jet aircraft, the Convair 580 continued to be a popular choice for many operators due to its fuel efficiency, low operating costs, and versatility. This photograph captures a moment in time when the Convair 580, represented by the N400J, was still a prominent player in the aviation industry, making its way through Prestwick Airport with grace and poise.
