A gaggle of ex-American Eagle Convair 580s await their fate. From the basic -340/-440 design, the type’s conversion to Allison turboprops extended its life almost indefinitely; several still fly today. N73152, in the foreground, escaped the desert a year later, bought by TAM Bolivia. Reassigned to the Bolivian Air Force in 1995, it crashed on takeoff at Trinidad, Bolivia on February 22, 2005.
