NORD Mohawk 298 (N26202)

Very few FA viewers are going to recognize this airline, but there are probably some old-timers like myself, especially if they lived in Ohio or Indiana in the 50s and 60s, who will immediately ID this livery.
This picture (actually, this is two of my 50-year-old Kodak 620 film prints that I scanned together simultaneously so they could be viewed as one post) shows two views of Lake Central's N26202, a Nord 262A, on the ramp at what was known back then as Greater Buffalo International (now KBUF - Buffalo Niagara International) as it is being prepped and is about to board passengers.
I was able to find one other picture of this specific aircraft in Lake Central paint on the web; however, the photo I found shows this one with Lake Central's big "The Airline With A Heart" heart logo on the tail. That logo was adopted by the airline not long after I snapped these two shots in a last-ditch attempt to rebrand and "revive" itself. The attempt did not work ... Lake Central was absorbed by Allegheny in 1968. As part of the Allegheny takeover, this and all the other Nord equipment in Lake Central's fleet were modified and then flown by Allegheny for a few years, but Allegheny did not really like these planes and disposed of all of them as quickly as it could. While flying for Allegheny, all the former LC Nords were given French ladies names; this aircraft was given the name "Claudette."
* Both photos were old and quite faded, but I was able to resurrect the colors a bit, and if the viewer desires to see this in its best possible quality, I recommend clicking on FULL size. *
