Both Sikorsky S-37 aircraft were operated by American International Airways, which was associated with NYRBA, the short-lived New York, Rio & Buenos Aires Line. Reportedly the other one operated in Argentina as R-1283 Southern Star. This airframe became NR942M, a seaplane that undertook a failed flight around the world - see other photos.
