Although this aircraft is obviously named "The Texan", it is not NC7888, the first aircraft of Standard Airlines to bear that name. NC7888 (c/n 617) was a Fokker F.VIIa with a single Pratt & Whitney Hornet R-1690 engine. It was lost in a crash on March 30, 1929. The shape of this airplane's cockpit and nose section shows that it is the second Standard Airlines aircraft to be named "The Texan", NC9169 (c/n 1038), a U.S.-built Fokker F-10A "Super Trimotor", powered by three Pratt & Whitney Wasp R-1340 engines, and built in July 1929, several months after the loss of NC7888. It only kept its name for a year before being sold to Western Air Express; it then passed to Transcontinental & Western Air and to American Airways before being scrapped in 1932.

Douglas Dolphin 117 c/n 1280 NC14205 owned by William Boeing, and named Rover. This is the sole surviving example of the Dolphin, and this very aircraft currently resides in the US Navy Museum in Pensacola, FL, masquerading as a Coast Guard example. After Boeing sold it, it was used during the war years by the CAA, the predecessor to the current FAA.
