Simmons on October 15, 1934, who sold it to Northern Airways on June 8, 1935. It was wrecked in an accident while taking off from snow on December 5, 1937.

About 43 years later it was recovered and restoration by Clark Seaborn, aviation engineer Don McLean (pictured above), and others started in 1982 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, using parts from other aircraft as well. CF-AAM flew again on July 24, 1998, gaining its CofA the following year. After another 35,000 mls (56,327 km) of flying the aircraft was withdrawn from active flying and is shown at the Western Canada Aviation Museum, Winnipeg."
