One of the few surviving genuine DC-3s delivered to American Airlines as NC25658 "Flagship Cleveland" in March 1940, prior to the US entry into WWII. PBA retired its DC-3s after a take-over in 1988 and after a period of storage the aircraft was re-registered N922CA with Champlain Air. In April 2009 it was acquired by the Swiss Constellation Flyers Association, ferried to Switzerland, re-registered HB-IRJ and flew in the colours of its sponsor Breitling. It was sold to the Turkish Air & Space Museum in March 2019 and in May 2021 was transferred to the US register as N3291.
