Built for the Hughes Tool Company in 1959, but never delivered, this Electra was sold instead to the Federal Aviation Administration in 1961 as N111. It was re-registered N97 in 1972. To NASA as N429NA in 1979, it was withdrawn in December 1994 and stored at MASDC. The aircraft was taken out of storage circa 2002 and seen in several salvage yards adjacent to MASDC before registered to Neptune Aviation Services in 2004. It joined Air Spray air tanker fleet in 2006 and is pictured working with the British Columbia Forest Service.
