Boeing 377 "Clipper Invincible" with Pan American Airways, c. 1955
(Minicraft B-377 Stratocruiser in 1/144 scale, kit #14445 c. 1997)

Depicts B-377-10-26 MSN 15940, registration N1040V

This Stratocruiser flew without incident for PAA from its delivery until 1958, when it was returned to Boeing on August 4, 1960 in trade for 707 jets.

Linea Internacional Aérea SA (LIA) acquired the aircraft and had it overhauled at Oakland, California. Registered HC-AGA (alternately HC-AGA?) and christened Princess Everetta Maria, the plane was ferried to Quito, Ecuador, to be based out of Quito for international routes. Unfortunately, LIA ran into financial difficulties, and the aircraft was subsequently seized by the government. The aircraft was abandoned at Simón Bolivar Air Base in Guayaquil and is believed to have been scrapped in 1967.

First Flight: September 23, 1949
Delivered: October 31, 1949
Retired: September 1959 by PAA after 25,558.39 hours

Paints are Wal-Mart rattle-can grey primer and gloss white undercoat and Alclad II metallics.
