The fourth and last Lockheed 7 Explorer built, NR101W (c/n 148). After an accident attempting take-off from Ancon, Panama, the wings from this aircraft would be salvaged and used on Wiley Post's ill-fated Lockheed Orion-Explorer hybrid, NR12283 (c/n 195), which would crash in Walakpa Lagoon, Alaska taking the lives of Post and humorist Will Rogers.
