N9651 was built in 1929 for Trans Continental Air Transport. At the time the slide was taken Mr. Irv Perlitch owned the aircraft. He also owned the Flying Lady Ranch Museum, and N9651 was maintained in flying condition, being exhibited at fly-ins and airshows often. Upon the closure of the museum in 1993 it was purchased by Mr. Kermit Weeks of Polk City, FL., where the a/c currently resides.
