Great looks in corrugated aluminum.

I see the remnants of an American Airways logo on the fuselage. Love the ol' Ford Trimotor. I wonder why the surviving examples don't have the cowl around the motors... Or, the fenders on the front wheels. Oh well, still great to know at least one is still flying. :)

Rather before her time.

Curtiss T-32 Condor II, msn 22, registered NC12354. Crashed 9 June 1934 on a scheduled revenue flight. The aircraft departed Newark Airport at 1600LT bound for Syracuse and Chicago. While overflying the State of New York at an altitude of 2,000 feet, the crew encountered bad weather conditions and the visibility was reduced due to heavy rain falls and clouds. The airplane impacted the slope of Mt. Last Chance located in the Catskills Mountain Range, some 15 km NE of Livingston Manor. Rescuers arrived on the scene two days later and no survivors were found among the burnt wreckage.
Crew: Clyde Holbrook, pilot, John Barron Jr., copilot, Ada Huckeby, stewardess.
Passengers: Harry Pinsley, Harold C. Coppins, William Baxter Bader, William Andrew Cass.
