To XW-PGR operated by Royal Air Lao. Crashed Luang Prabang (Laos) February 27, 1971

At the Pima County Air Museum, still with Inter-American's "IA" logo on the tail.

'Clipper Flying Cloud' has been beautifully restored by Boeing in 2001 so this very interesting piece of aviation history is now on display at the NASM Udvar-Hazy Center.

Newly painted in overall white colors.

I had the opportunity to tour the museum one day prior to its official opening.

Restored by Boeing Aircraft between 1994 and 2001, and currently on display in Pan American colors at the Smithsonian's Udvar Hazy Center at Dulles Airport.

1939-built Boeing Stratoliner stored at the Pima museum before it opened to the public. Still has Inter-American's "IA" logo on the tail.

NC19903 poses for the camera over Mount Rainier, Washington, before delivery to Pan Am in 1940. This early pressurised airliner, of which only 10 were built, was then deployed on the airline's South American routes. TWA used theirs for transcontinental services. After spending more than two decades at the Pima Air Museum, this aircraft is now preserved in the Smithsonian Udvar-Hazy Center at IAD. Obtained from PAA 60 years ago.

TWA flew five of the ten 307s built. NX19906 first flew in early 1940. Painted temporarily as NC1940 for publicity purposes. Served on US coast-to-coast services. Impressed as C-75 42-88623. Returned to TWA in 1945 as NC19906. Used on US regional services. Sold in 1951 to Aigle Azur as F-BELU. From TWA 60 years ago.
