This aircraft is distinctive because the DL-1 series Vega had an aluminum fuselage, while the original Vega was plywood-skinned. Although c/n 161 was never in service with the U.S. Military in World War II, this restored Vega bears the distinctive markings of the Army Air Corps Y1C-12 from the 1930s. This aircraft is also distinctive as it was built after the October 1931 demise of Detroit and its subsidiary Lockheed by Richard von Hake and other laid-off employees, completed in March 1933.

Former USAAF 42-23518. Previously registered N53ST, this aircraft became N147AZ on 28 May 2015 and received a new paint job as "223518 / 30-F" that same year. It's seen here receiving some TLC in the CAF hangar, no doubt in preparation for its next pleasure flight.
