This aircraft was actually operated by Mercer Airlines and is still in their colors. The Speed-Air titles were applied in removable paint on the left side only when the aircraft was rented to appear in brief scenes for the 1967 movie "The Reluctant Astronaut". Also has additional "We Cover Missouri" titles. All titles were removed immediately after the film scenes were completed.
