Price range: $999.00 through $1,099.00

Though commercially unsuccessful, the Convair 880 actually flew faster than its two major competitors–the Boeing 707 and the Douglas DC-8. Only sixty-five 880’s were ever built. High fuel consumption and a smaller passenger capacity than both the 707 and the DC-8 relegated the 880’s to cargo and military use in just a few short years. Just two U.S. carriers, TWA and Delta, purchased 880’s. The rest of the original production models were sold to non-U.S. carriers. Seen here a TWA Starstream 880 on the tarmac at the Tulsa Airport preparing for take-off, this image was made with a Yashica J-5 SLR using a 90-230mm f4.5 Yashinon zoom lens on Kodak film.
