The oldest and newest Boeings still flying

Pretty cool!
"Photo Subject: 1928 Boeing 40C 5339 Serial number 1043 is the oldest flying Boeing aircraft of any kind and considered the first successful airliner in the US. 5339 was delivered to Pacific Air Transport a division of Boeing Lines to fly CAM 8 in July of 1928. The airplane crashed Oct 2 1928 in southern Oregon when Northbound from Medford to Portland. The airplane was recovered in the 1990's by the Oregon Aviation Historical Society and purchased by Addison Pemberton in 2000. The aircraft was restored over an eight year period and first flown after restoration Feb 2008."

The Photos are Back! Boeing 40 and the 787 Dreamliner

That is so cool. It says it's a two passenger aircraft designed to carry mail mostly. 82 years obviously had some engineering changes

That aircraft is part of the Pemberton and Sons Aviation fleet that they have restored. It is incredible the amount of detail they put into it.

The restoration was superb, look how they transformed this beauty.
