    The two 240s bought by Ethiopian Airlines were fitted with JATO take off equipment due to its often very hot and high areas.
    This is possibly the first aircraft c/n 168 ET-T-20 but since the other aircraft was c/n 170 and both were still with Convair on 7 Dec 1950 it is tricky to say....

    Makes you wonder about these photos. What I figure is you have a photographer taking pictures of Tomahawk missiles or something and then someone ran in and said, "Hey, there's been an accident out side. Take some pictures." Now 40 years later, they are in the collection being scanned by SDASM.

    T. A. O'Brien LOL. Documenting the wrecked company van for the insurance company; picked up a camera in a desk drawer and it had missile photos on the rest of the roll.
