I used to work for Renown Aviation as the Airline Materials Manager. Renown had many Convairs and a few Electras. So I did a repaint of an L188 to honor N351Q which is now being used as a forest fire fighting plane.

This is a screen shot of my aircraft stationed at NAS North Island, San Diego, CA (where we operated it from for a Navy contract.)

Here's the real one parked at our repair station in Roswell, NM after Renown when under.

And here it is as a fire tanker.


Sorry about the size of the second pic. It's not mine and I didn't upload it. The second two pictures are hosted elsewhere. I don't have the ability to scan and upload my large stack of photos of Renown aircraft.
