10/31/2007. Remarks by Lars Opland: "This aircraft was manufactured in 1928 and was first owned by Utah Oil Refining Company of Salt Lake City, Utah, and participated in the 1929 National Air Tour. In probably 1941 or early 1942 it was sold to Robert C. "Bob" Reeve (pictured in the foreground) who flew this aircraft only for military contract work to Morrison-Knudson during WW II. The bare steel tube fuselage frame of NC7034 is currently on display at the Alaska Aviation Heritage Museum." |
