-
USSR stamps (postcard)
Quite thick internet card, mailed in 2012 with three stamps of its own, postmark, and additional rubber-stamped impression on the reverse. Grade: 3
-
Aeroamerica International, Boeing 707-131 (N735T)
Unused Mary Jayne card MJ417. The aircraft registration number does not appear in this photo, but does appear in the reverse caption; the plane was built in 1959, now owned by Club International, Inc., but deregistered and later scrapped. Four cards are available. Grades: 1
-
Air Sunshine DC-3 (N73KW)
This Air Sunshine Douglas DC-3 at one time had several other registrations, and on 15 January 1977 crashed when it tried to return to Miami Airport after developing engine trouble, and was written off. No fatalities. Unused specialty card. Grade: 1
-
Alfa Chile, Curtiss C-46 Commando
Unused internet card. Grade: 1
-
American Airlines, 727 Astrojet
Unused Dexter Press card DR-88313-B, quite aged and with album marks on reverse corners. Front of card is good, though. Grade: 3
-
The Atlanta Skylarks, Douglas DC-7 (N4889C)
Unused internet card. Research into registration number N4889C tells us this Douglas DC-7B first flew in 1957 and is now owned by the American Museum of Aviation. Grade: 1
-
Bolivian Airways, Curtiss C-46 Commando (CP-760)
On 23rd August 1968, this aircraft with registration number CP-760 was taking off from Reyes Airport in Bolivia, when it crashed, killing all four persons on board. The plane was damaged beyond repair. The internet postcard is unused. Grade: 1
-
B.O.A.C. Comet 4 Jetliner
Mailed in 1960 with stamp and postmark, but because this card was thoroughly defaced by the writer, it has limited appeal, we know. Grade: 5
-
Braniff International Airways, Boeing 707-327C (N7100)
It is the caption of this unused specialty card, not the photo, that says the aircraft registration number is N7100. None of our usual sources could give us any information about this number, but Braniff of course is long out of business. Grade: 1
-
British Airways Concorde in Flight
Unused card. Grade: 1
-
British Island Airways, Air Cargo, Douglas DC-3
Unused internet card. Grade: 1
-
British Island Airways, Douglas DC-6 (OO-PAY)
During its life, this Douglas DC-6B aircraft has had at least nine different registrations–now N444CE and owned by Everts Air Fuel of Fairbanks, Alaska. The internet card is unused, Grade: 1
-
Capital Airlines, Douglas DC-6B (N6523C)
Sometime after leaving Capital Airlines, this Douglas DC-6B aircraft N6523C whose first flight had been in 1952 went to Skyways International. On 17 February 1978, it made a forced landing in shallow water at Laguna de Brus, Honduras. There were no fatalities, and the aircraft was written off. Unused internet card. Grade: 1
-
Capital Airlines, Douglas DC-6 (N88864)
United Airlines acquired Capital Airlines in 1961. Among other aircraft, they received this N88864, which was listed in UA (and other sources’) records as a Douglas DC-4, not a DC-6 as the caption on this unused internet card says. What do you think? Grade: 1
-
Carib West Airlines, Douglas DC-6
Unused internet card. Grade: 1
-
Central American Airways, Martin 404 (?) (N71R)
The caption on this unused internet card says this is a Martin 404. However our search shows more than one source saying it is actually a Martin 202; that it was delivered new to Northwest Airlines as N93046 in 1947; and that sometime before June 1970 it went over to Central American. A Cessna with N71R registration is now held by a private owner in Mississippi. Grade: 1
-
Compania Dominicana de Aviacion, Douglas DC-4 (HI-42)
Unused card. No information available about registration HI-42, though so many other “HI-” numbers have been involved in incidents. Grade: 1
-
Contact Airways, Douglas DC-3 (C-GZOF)
This DC-3C aircraft C-GZOF, whose first flight was in 1944, made its way to Air North. In August, 1995, it left Vancouver and had to return to the airport due to an engine failure. On landing it struck the embankment of the Fraser River during a turn, with one fatality among the three persons on board. The aircraft was written off. Unused internet card. Grade: 1
-
Cunard Eagle Airways, Douglas DC-6
Unused card. Grade: 1
-
Eastern Airlines, Lockheed L-188
Unused internet card. Grade: 1
-
Eastern Airlines, DC-4 (facing right)
The caption on this unused internet card is funny: “A beautiful sunny day over Miami in 1946.” Well, maybe. Small smudge on reverse. The registration number is there but a bit hard for us to see. Grade: 2
-
Eastern Airlines, DC-4 (facing left) (NC88705)
Once again, a caption on this unused internet card at odds with the photo: “The four-engine DC-4 is shown in flight over Miami in 1947.” Registration NC88705 with Eastern had not been involved in any incidents. Grade: 1
-
Eastern Airlines, DC-4 (over land) (NC88705)
Compare this unused internet card with previous entry 30200299. Same aircraft, but this one is actually over land, while the caption only refers to Eastern as being “one of the original airline sponsors of the DC-4.” Grade: 1
-
Eastern Airlines, Douglas DC8-21
Unused internet card. Grade: 1
-
Eastern Airlines, Douglas DC9 Whisperjet
Photo from 1967, unused internet card from somewhat later. Grade: 1
-
Eastern Airlines, DC9-14 (N8915E)
Eastern failed, so the 1967 aircraft N8915E had to go somewhere. That “somewhere” was Northwest Airlines (now itself gone, taken into Delta) and the registration is still active. Unused internet card. Grade: 1
-
Eastern Airlines, Martin 4-0-4
Clear, unused, internet card. Grade: 1
-
Eastern Airlines, Martin 4-0-4 (N488A)
Unused internet card. Registration number N488A is now assigned to a newer, different aircraft. We found no record of anything special when Eastern had the number. Grade: 1
-
Eastern Airlines, Lockheed L-1011
Unused internet card with a photo from 1973. Grade: 1
-
Eastern Airlines, Boeing 727 Whisperjet
Unused internet card. Grade: 1
-
Finnair, Convair CV-340 (OH-VKM)
Unused card, not from Finnair. We found no incidents or information about OH-VKM. Grade: 1
-
Great Lakes Airlines, Convair CV-440
Unused card. Grade: 1
-
Great Lakes Airlines, Convair CV-440 (CF-GLD)
One source says this aircraft previously held registration number HB-IMK with Swissair, but we could find no other information. Unused specialty card. Grade: 1
-
Harrison Air, Martin 404 (?) (CF-HAF)
The unused postcard says this is a Martin 404. Our internet sources say it is a Convair CV-440-98, originally built for Kar-Air in 1957 but back to the USA in 1978, and crashed after engine failure with Key-Air International (or Air Alaska Cargo) in the Dominican Republic in 1995. Either way, the card is Grade: 1
-
Iscargo, DC-6 (TF-IUB)
Unused internet card. This is the original aircraft with this registration number (TF-IUB) yet there is confusion among the internet sources whether this 1956 aircraft was still flying for the same Icelandic airline in 1979, or whether the number had been reassigned to a Boeing 707-321C in 1967. Grade: 1
-
LEBCA International, Curtiss C-46 (YV-C-LBS)
This seems to be one of the very few aircraft with similar registration numbers (i.e., YV-C-L something) that didn’t crash. Unused internet card. Grade: 1
-
LIN Airlines, Convair CV-340 (SE-CCP)
Another thoroughly confusing journey through the web to find out about this registration number SE-CCP. Though many sources suggest this is (was) a Convair 440, a good source (in Swedish, though) confirms it was a CV-340 for Linjeflyg, registered in 1965. It did however go through many subsequent registrations–many! Unused internet card. Grade: 1
-
Mackey International Airlines, Convair CV-440
The photo on this unused internet card is not as clear as we would like it to be, but the unused card itself is Grade: 1
-
Morris Air, Boeing B-737 3G7 (N778MA)
Unused specialty card. The aircraft bearing N778MA went into use in 1967, and wound up with Southwest Airlines in 1994, where it was still seen to be flying in 2011. It was then stored in July, 2012 after its number had been changed to N671SW. Grade: 1
