"City of Renton" on display at The Museum of Flight in vintage United Air Lines colours. The aircraft was built as a 247 and delivered in 1933 to Pacific Air Transport. It was taken into UAL on 1 May 1934 and went back to Boeing for conversion to a 247D, re-joining the fleet in Aug 1935. With the advent of the DC-3, UAL's 247s were sold to other operators. This aircraft served with the RCAF, later flying in Latin America. It went back to the USA, serving as a crop sprayer and cloud seeder. Restored to airworthy status, it flew for the last time on 26 Apr 2016. This photo is copyright © Arjun Sarup, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
