[edit] Convair 240 N55VM

Just for information "The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the the probable cause of this accident was fuel exhaustion and total loss of power from both engines due to crew inattention to fuel supply. Contributing to the fuel exhaustion were inadequate flight planning and an engine malfunction of undetermined nature in the right engine which resulted in higher-than-normal fuel consumption (NTSB-AAR-78-6)" MilborneOne 22:15, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] C-131 Samaritan

MilborneOne, I found this page by accident today, and had no clue you had just add the military variants list just today! I saw the long list in the articel and thought, "Now why isn't all this on its own page?" I was already looking for some more pics of the CV-2400/340/440s, and found one of a C-131 on one of the interwikis. So, I went ahead and created the new article. Hopefully, you'll have more info you can add there, and the text definitly needs cleaning up and rewriting. I'll try to do what I can on that this week. - BillCJ 08:17, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
