	Convair 990
		The maximum cruising Mach number of the 990 is 0.89, which is the highest of any of the subsonic jet transports.
		The high cruising Mach number of the aircraft is due in part to the Whitcomb bumps on the trailing edge of the wing.
		The 990 was an attempt by the Convair Corporation to compete with Boeing and Douglas in the highly competitive jet transport marketplace of the late 1950s.

	Convair CV-990 Coronado
		The first Convair 990, also called the Coronado, made its first flight on January 24, 1961.
		Though the 990 was a good performer aerodynamically, it was not well-conceived in terms of payload, operator options, and cabin customer appeal.
		The Convair's 880 and 990 program proved an extremely costly venture for the company, and since that time the aviation divisions of General Dynamics Corporation have confined their activities within the field of military aviation.

	Convair 990 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Convair 990 Coronado was a jet airliner produced by the Convair division of General Dynamics, a "stretched" version of their earlier Convair 880 produced in response to a request from American Airlines.
		The 990 was lengthened by 10 feet, which increased the passengers from between 88 and 110 in the 880, to between 96 and 121 (depending on the interior).
		The failure of the Convair 880 and 990 to be accepted by the airlines led to Convair to suffer, at the time, the largest corporate losses in history, though more modern corporations have surpassed Convair's losses.

	VPNAVY - United States Navy Patrol Squadrons VP-47 Memorial Page
		While the P-3 was flying approaches on runway 32L, a Convair 990 operated by NASA was south of NAS Moffett Field, California flying a straight in approach.
		The Convair 990, N711NA, was delivered to NASA in 1964 and was one of four 990 models operated by NASA over the years.
		A NASA 990 Convair had inadvertently been directed to land "36 left for visual" when in fact the controller meant to say "36 right for visual".

	LSRA index: CV-990 Landing Systems Research Aircraft (LSRA) Photo Gallery Contact Sheet
		A Convair 990 (CV-990) aircraft formerly used by NASA as a medium-altitude research platform was used at Dryden as a Landing Systems Research Aircraft (LSRA).
		It was used to test space shuttle landing gear and braking systems as part of NASA's continuing effort to upgrade and improve space shuttle capabilities.
		Fullerton was also a member of the NASA flight crews that carried out the space shuttle approach and landing tests at Dryden in 1977 with the prototype orbiter Enterprise.

		the Convair 990 Coronado! Great job!! Now we need 60's TWA, Northeast, and Delta livery! I remember seeing these rare airliners when I lived by KMIA...
		I worked as a loftsman (made full sized, extremely accurate drawings of aircraft parts which were translated to metal templates used for master patterns) at Convair when the 880 and 990 planes were being designed.
		I worked on the layouts for the nose farings of the anti shock bodies you can see on the upper surface of the wings; they look sort of like streamlined pods.

	Al's Kit Corner
		There is a grand total of nine parts (including the two for the stand!) in the 880, with the count dropping to five (!) in the 990.
		Gear well and control surface outlines, windows, and thrust reverser details are all provided on the excellent Microscale decal sheets included with the kits.
		The great decals sheets along with the fact that the two kits are true 1/144 scale (Revell’s CV-990 is slightly larger) have led to a high demand for these models among airline modelers and collectors despite their simplicity.

	Airliners.net Tech Ops: Does Video Footage Exist Of The CV-880/990 Jets?
		Talking to the Swiss crew we asked as to how we were over taking the Fastest jet airliner, only to be told that it might be fast but not if you wanted to have any range.
		The robbers, the leader of whom is played by Al Pacino, demand a jet to take them to Cuba (or somewhere) and in one of the final scenes, we see a Modern Air 990 taxying across the ramp at JFK.
		This particular Convair 990 (the last known airworthy example) ended up in ELP around 1996 or so, last I heard the airport gave the aircraft owners an ultimatum that they didn't meet, so the aircraft got auctioned off to someone who was going to break her up for scrap
