<p>c/n 25-554.
US military serial 38-284.
Joining the Ed Maloney collection in 1961, this rare beast flew in the 1965 ‘Flight of the Phoenix’ movie after the purpose built ‘Phoenix’ crashed. It then went on static display before being restored and flying again in 1980. In June 1982, a wheels-up landing resulted in a fire causing severe damage. A long term rebuild was begun in 2000, using parts of 38-295 (N1047P). The project is progressing well and is visible in the Friedkin hangar at the Planes of Fame Museum,
Chino, California, USA.
