Information taken from THE CONVAIR TWINS by Gary L. Killion (Thanks to Frank Meyer for the book) *N73130 crashed GRI 12/21/62 - total loss Jake, Good job on the chart. Although "130" crashed at GRI, I was
told that the nose section was salvaged and was used for the only CV-
580 simulator ever made; Frontier's. Maybe someone else can confirm
or correct this info. If so, then it certainly wasn't a total loss
even though we sometimes cussed that infernal machine while we were
sweating away on a checkride!
Jake & Frosty,
I believe Frosty is correct regarding 130.
The book I sent does identify each CV-580 & it's history.
I don't think it will mention being converted to the simulator.
George Maillet (deceased) was the genuis who created the mod;
but, Don Thiele should be able to confirm.
The Aug 1959 Frontier newsletter reports that a CV340 simulator had been leased from United.
The Jan/Feb 1966 FL newsletter says the simulator had been extensively modified
to be a CV580 simulator at a cost of $200,000.
There is an unconfirmed report that UA built the CV340 simulator
from a United CV340 aircraft that crashed in a cornfield.
