dmiller Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 On the thread about the Harley, Jim said this; This is pretty creepy.I take it this is not the Twighopper. I seem to recall the Twighopper was a trike. Anyone know? How about VPW's red Olds '88' that was in Joe Coulter's garage? That been sold? Anyone remember the tail numbers of the planes? It would be interesting to know where they ended up. I don't know if the tail numbers are the same as the registration number, but the way rag from January-February 1983 states: This particular Convair 580, registration number N328VP, named Ambassador One, did have a routine life for it's first 25 years -- first under ownership of United Airlines, then the Esso corporation.But on December 26, 1977, it made a flight from Ohio to Gunisson, Colorado, under the new ownership of the Way International. Interesting that the registration number is: N 328 VP The pic from the cover of the magazine, shows no tail numbers. Just a white dove, in a black circle (Ying and Yang??) ;) And the fact that it was a convair Con V(ic) air. Hmmmm. Anyone know where John R*ce is, the former captain of Ambassador One?

George Aar Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Uh, it's "Frances" now, but that's another story. I remember my flights on A-1 as being about the worst I ever experienced. The old bird was only pressurized for 5000 feet or so, and I dunno, just beat you up if the flight was more than a few minutes. I didn't much care for it.
