Aircraft delivered to Rapid Air Lines on 15 May 1928. The name Wamblee Ohanko is in the Sioux language and means Swift Eagle, and the aircraft also carries the airline's slogan "Safe and Sane Flying". This Tri-Motor was damaged beyond repair when a wing was torn off during a forced landing at Metz, Missouri on 17 April 1942.
