München-Riem

Summer 1979

 

EC-CNJ

Convair 990A (30A-6)

30-10-14

Spantax

 

EC-CNJ is coming in to land on Riem’s runway 07, no longer trailing black smoke after Spantax had the engines refitted with low-smoke combustion chambers.

 

Note the three modern Munich landmarks in the background: the Hypo building nearing completion (inaugurated in November 1981, today known as HVB Tower), the Arabella Building (finished in 1969) and the Olympic Tower (opened in 1968).

 

Only 37 CV-990s were manufactured, and Spantax made sure that we would regularly see this rare type at Riem in the 1970s and into the 1980s. We called them Coronados (as Swissair had dubbed their CV-990s) - and this one is inscribed "Coronado" on the tail as an ex-Swissair aircraft.

 

Delivered to Swissair on 3 August 1962. Leased to Ghana Airways in 1964. Went on to Spantax on 7 June 1975 and wfu at PMI in March 1981, broken up there in 1991. (Source: planelogger.com)

HB-ICB "Luzern"

Convair 990A Coronado (30A-6)

30-10-11

Swissair

 

Swissair Coronados were occasionally seen at Riem in the early 1970s, substituting for the usual DC-9s. There’s an Austrian Airlines Viscount visible in the background of this shot.

 

HB-ICB was delivered new to Swissair on 18 January 1962 as the airline’s second Coronado, sold to MBB in April 1975 and broken up at Hamburg-Finkenwerder (XFW) the same year.

 

The Coronado was one of the fastest airliners ever, and Swissair bought eight of them for delivery in 1961 and 1962. HB-ICD was lost after a bomb explosion near Zurich on 21 February 1970 (it had been noted at Riem only a month before that, on 21 January 1970). The rest of the fleet was withdrawn in 1974. Two were scrapped (including HB-ICB), four were sold to Spantax, and one was transferred to the Verkehrshaus at Luzern, where it has been displayed ever since.
