Aircraft badly damaged here in Amsterdam on 1 February 1958 as the captain overruled the co-pilot's decision to abort approach for Rwy 19. Eventually rebuilt, apparently as a freighter. Later used on Biafran Airlift. As VR-BCT, it crashed at Abidjan, Ivory Coast in 1970 during a ferry flight to Liverpool on three engines. Photo from: Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)

One of seven DC-7B aircraft operated before the DC-7C became available. This one was in the fleet from 1955 to 1964, after which it was scrapped - a victim of the jet age.

The prototype Stratocruiser, NX90700, first flew in July 1947. Originally wearing Boeing titles, at some stage it was evidently re-painted in the colours of major operator Pan Am and re-registered NC90700 (as here), possibly for commercial route flying trials. The aircraft was later upgraded and sold to Pan Am in 1950 as N1022V Clipper Nightingale. In 1961 it was sold in Venezuela to RANSA, becoming YV-C-ERI. Unfortunately it was broken up in 1969.

Delivery of N1027V to Pan Am on 2 March 1949 was at Portland, Oregon for tax avoidance reasons. On 13 March, she made a press flight from San Franciso to the Grand Canyon. She then went on public display in Los Angeles, San Diego, and Salt Lake City as seen here, before going into regular service. She was also named Clipper Rainbow and Clipper Friendship.
