	C-GNRL (cn 375) Parked on the south cargo ramp, this plane diverted here earlier in the day with engine trouble. Indeed, a spare engine was flown in and an engine change was done right on the ramp. (Click on the registration for shots of the engine change.)

	C-GNRL (cn 375) (Best at 1152 size.) With its stricken engine removed and loaded onto a pallet, the Nolinor maintenance team has already hung the spare engine and they anticipated having it complete by nightfall. I'll let you know how it turned out!

	C-GNRL (cn 375) (Best at 1152 size.) Did you ever want to stand under a Convair 580? What a beautiful and classic bird and a distinct honor to be so close to one again. Built as a -440 with radial engines, it was converted to 580 status when those Allison 501's were installed.

	C-GNRL (cn 375) (Best at 1152 size.) This aircraft diverted to Cleveland earlier this day on a flight from Cincinnati (CVG) to Montreal-Trudeau (YUL) due to an engine problem. A backup Convair was flown in along with some maintenance personnel who determined an engine change was in order. A 737 was sent today with the spare engine, and repairs will be underway soon.

	C-GNRL (cn 375) (Best at 1152 size.) I've always loved the Convair 580 and ever since Air Tahoma pulled out of Cleveland they are few and far between. This beautiful classic diverted here on the morning of the 20th with a number 2 engine overspeed problem, landing with that side feathered. Pictured here on the south cargo ramp awaiting an engine change.
