| Michael , MS | The 1st two photos in the series below are a Howard 500 rather than a C -60/L-18 as labeled. A close look will reveal the reg. is N500HP owned and flown by the Phillpi Co. In Minn. Incidentally, the third photo is of the CAF C-60/L-18/Howard 250 that crashed on take-off at Midland, Tx few years ago. 04/14/2012 @ 17:05 [ref: 55651] |
| Ken , NH | RE: Soundair Howard 500s...
I was a rookie Boston Center controller in the 1982-1985 timeframe, and remember working the Soundair Howard 500 flight(s) betwen the Maritimes and Quebec/Ontario provinces as they crossed northern Maine on the overnight/midnight shifts! Theirs was the only flight or two (westbound and return) for most of the night back then... now it gets rather busy with trans-Atlantic traffic for most of the night. Great memories.
