When I worked for a large U.S. aerospace company we leased a 580. It had a factory cargo door, air stairs and fruehauf cargo floor. Great airplane. Sadly it crashed in Africa after we turned it back to its owner.
My first flight on an airliner was in 1973 when as a 16-year-old I took a round trip from Chicago's O'Hare Field to Milwaukee and back aboard a North Central, Convair 580. Total airfare was $32.00 which was quite a bit back then. Nice shot of a 580 takeoff and thanks for the memories and sharing!
Here are some links to other takeoff videos, hope this helps. ua-cam.com/video/snwvHpqYURE/v-deo.htmlsi=-wDE1rA9yrQtwOgb ua-cam.com/video/O5y5EWrKj-U/v-deo.htmlsi=CAbNNABeJDghDJNj

Great aircraft.
🙂 Love the 580 🙂
Same here!
Wonderful 😍
Thumbs up and subbed 👍 👋
I guessed that this was Norway when the video popped into my feed, but Canada has some areas that look a bit like that lol. Really nice video folks!
Haha, thanks!
Yayy
I wonder if this one flew for Air Ontario/ Great Lakes Airlines back in the 70 and 80’s?
Could have been, this bird has flown with dozens of different operators over the years.
Wish you would capture the sound of the 580' during takeoff roll and takeoff 😊
