Did any of the C-60s come with cargo doors? All the ones I see these days seem to be pax only with pax doors - most are converted to executive transport & was the plane of choice until Lear came along with this crazy notion biz execs should have jets!

Ernie,
Lodestars did not come with a cargo door. Having been around one for 13 years, I have never seen one either in real life or photos. There is little room back at the door location for much more then the pax door. This was one of the issues that the 60's had. That said, their speed was welcomed by folks like Secertary of the Navy, Commandant of the Coast Guard, and Commandant of the Marine Corps used them for executive transports.

Thanks Bob.

I've read about cargo versions, but I guess it was only cargo that would fit in the passenger door...
