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.
