A more modern view of Northeast's N88904 at Nantucket Airport. This aircraft was an ex Panagra DC-4, and sports a hybrid livery with 1953 vintage Northeast titles applied to the basic Panagra colors.

Northeast experimented with the C-46, or more correctly CW-20T, in 1954, briefly operating passenger flights. It didn't work out. N1381N shown on this IAWP Historical issue, went on to serve with Austral and ALA of Argentina.

Northeast Britannia Ad 1957
In the short term, Britannias would have clobbered Eastern and National, but the pure jets weren't far away, and the new Britannia fleet would have soon been obsolete.

32
Northeast Convair 880 #2
To keep ahead of its competitors, Northeast briefly leased a 707 for Florida Service. But by November 1960, the new 880s were arriving. This outstanding oversized card shows N8483H, the first Northeast 880, which was actually leased from TWA.
