Introducing a new addition to your PlaneTags collection: a Convair CV-580 that took its maiden flight in 1956. It spent most of its career serving with Belgium's national airline, SABENA, for 11 years, followed by 18 years with Frontier Airlines, and later with smaller commuter airlines. The aircraft, N73163, was retired and stored from 1995 until MotoArt recently had the chance to preserve it.
