    My parents rented a cabin for a week every summer in South Lake Tahoe in the late 70's& early 80's. The cabin was about 4 miles from the airport and in the direct line of approach/takeoffs. The C580's(Aspen Air) and Lockheed L-188's(Air California) would fly over regularly. Awesome sounds!

    The Convair 580 is one great looking and sounding bird with those Allisons!

    Yes sir, that's my baby! The only CV-580 I've ever rode on, summer 1992. Love those muscular Allison 501's. Great sound. Thanks for posting!

      these were the Convair CV 240 family made from 1947-1954 originally powered by P&W R-2800-CA3 18 cylinder double wasp radial engines. either using Hamilton Standard or Curtiss 3 bladed props the 580 is the turboprop conversion using two Allison 501 turboprops and 4 bladed Hamilton Standard props. the CV-600 and 640 has the Rolls Royce Dart turboprops.

      Those are the Aero Products props not Hamilton Standards.

    I was a mechanic for Air Resorts 1988-1991....43U was my favorite one. I was onboard mech for several charter tours on this plane...including Baryshnkov dance tour in 1990.

    sounds like a real plane to me, not like today where they sound like air compressors or vaccum cleaners or a blender. this is a true work horse. i flew in one back in 1982 (republic airlines) it was the best flight i ever had on one of these.

      Has to be in the 90's sometime. I saw a minivan in there. You don't see cellphones either. lol. They looked like cordless phones back then and cost high $$$ for the bill too. My friends was 300 a month in 1993.

      Unfortunately scraped back in 1996, I think. Shame. I got a little cockpit time on a ferry flight on a 580 from OAK to LAX back in 1989. Great old bird.
