Aerotransportes Entre Rios - AER

 

LV-LBS is coming in to land on Riem’s runway 07. The CL-44-6 visited the airport that day along with an assortment of other interesting aircraft: Braniff DC-8-51 N813BN, RAF Comet C.4 XR398, TAT F27 F-BUFU, Southland Corp. Gulfstream II N711SC, and Netherlands Goverment F28 PH-PBX. The last two are seen in the background of the photo above, along with a General Air Yak-40 just appearing to the left of a TIA DC-8-63, and a Lufthansa B747 on the right.

 

LV-LBS was seen at Riem at least three times during 1973 - I have reports for 20 January, 29 May and 6 October, and there is a photo dated March 1973 (see below). Other AER and TAR CL-44s were occasionally seen at Riem in the early 1970s as well: LV-JZR (AER), LV-JZB (TAR), LV-JZM (TAR), LV-JTN (TAR).

 

Aerotransportes Entre Rios acquired five CL-44s ex Royal Canadian Air Force and operated this type between 1970 and 1978. Two were lost in accidents, two were sold, and this one - LV-LBS - was broken up at Buenos Aires in 1982 after a few years of storage (source: Stephan Barth on airhistory.net). It had been delivered to RCAF in December 1960, was re-serialled 106924 in May 1970 and bought by broker Beaver Enterprises in November 1971. After storage in Montreal it went to AER in September 1972 and was wfu in 1978.
