Watch for a Convair CV-580 too!
Ever since I was a kid, I've loved F-27s, and here is one looking very smart in Bonanza's livery, with a famous politician and his family de-planing!
In 1968, Bonanza merged with Pacific & West Coast, to form "Air West", later "Hughes Airwest"
You will also note that this aircraft is "Radar Equipped"!

This particular F-27, serial number 108 ended its career at Paris Orly Airport flying for TAT on 5 July 1979....Where it was damaged beyond repair....Not sure about the Convair 580 because I dont see enuff of the reg. number.

I flew on F-27s (including Bonanza) for many years. I have always loved this aircraft.
