Thanks for posting. As the 2 other people have commented, it's the sound that really brings back good memories. Have flown dozens of times on these back in the day when some of the smaller, feeder airlines used them.
that plane has quite a history on it, This aircraft was rebuilt from c/n 96 a Convair 340-42A. Her career started in 1953 heading to Philipppine Airlines as PI-C342, but ended as N8420H still a Convair 340 on 20 October 1955 at Shereveport, Louisiana where she was damaged by fire. Rebuilt as a Covair 440 she served as N8444H; was converted to a Convair 580 (PAC166) 01 May 1969 then after service with Republic Airlines went to TG-MYM before returning to the US and N8444H until she whent to C-FCIB then on to ZK-CIB with Air Transport (Chatham Islands) on 10 June 1996. it also was in a nasty accident about 3 hours from me aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19830109-0 all i can say is she is one tough bird
...formerly operated by North Central CV440 which acquired the aircraft from Union Packing company in 1966 and converted to a CV 580. Republic Airlines resulted from a merger between North Central and Southern Airways in 1979 (later to include acquisition of Hughes AirWest) . Crashed at Brainerd MN on January 9th 1983 ( the second misfortune you mentioned) after which it was repaired and sold to Jay Dee Aircraft supply in November of that year. Nice to see one more North Central 580 that is still in the air. I used to live in Wisconsin and regularly flew on 440s and 580s operated by North Central. N8444H before the 580 conversion. www.aerialvisuals.ca/Airframe/Gallery/0/71/0000071513.jpg

An Ozark Convair 580 delivered me to Ft. Leonard Wood for basic training in 1969. A classic airliner !
