When D-1167 Bremen ended its transatlantic flight at remote Greenly Island, frozen Lac Nairne (then Lac Sainte-Agnès) became a busy transit hub. Floyd Bennett caught pneumonia here after flying in this Tri-Motor from Detroit with fellow hero Bernt Balchen. Bennett died on 25 April and Balchen carried the Bremen flyers from Lac Nairne to Washington, DC on 27 April to attend his funeral. The Tri-Motor was flying for the North American Newspaper Alliance (NANA) but Ford surely appreciated the publicity. This airframe became the oldest surviving Tri-Motor as N1077.

Built in 09.27 as 4-AT-A NC1077 for Sky View Lines, Detroit. Later to Canada as G-CARC. Restored by Greg Herrick's private collection as a 4-AT-B C1077 and is the oldest surviving Ford Trimotor.
