The Conroy Skymonster (CL-44-0) was a 1960s United States specialized cargo aircraft based on the Canadair CL-44 freighter, with an outsize fuselage.

[1] In 1969 Conroy and the CL-44-0 lost a bidding contest for RB.211 transport to Saturn Airways flying the Lockheed L-100-30 Hercules (civilian version of the C-130) (Canada's Pacific Western Airlines (PWA) initially won the competition but the UK government refused PWA access to the UK).

Conroy complained to an appeals court about the outcome on anti-trust grounds (Lockheed making both the L-1011 and the Hercules), but the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB; which tightly regulated the US airline business at the time), directed by the appeals court to investigate and explain the anti-trust aspects, saw nothing untoward, noting that in the end, Saturn's bid was lower, and Saturn was interested in the L-100 apart from the L-1011 program: it needed a new aircraft type to once again make it competitive in US military charter bidding.

[3] The nose section was built using foam covered with fiberglass, while the larger fuselage was constructed using conventional aluminum structure.

[5] In August 2008, it was reported that the aircraft was in the process of being scrapped,[6] however as of September this was on hold amid further rumours about donation to a museum in Germany.

[7] On 14 January 2010, Bournemouth International Airport Limited offered the aircraft for sale in The London Gazette.
