Boeing Model 40 to appear in Arlington


Posted at 3:30 am by Michelle Dunlop

Boeing’s latest commercial aircraft, its 787, won’t be taking to the skies around the Puget Sound region this week.

But the company’s first commercial aircraft, a Boeing 40, will make an appearance at the Arlington Fly-In on Friday.

This Boeing 40C, restored by Spokane-area aviation aficionado Addison Pemberton, made its first flight in 80 years in February 2008.

Built in Seattle in 1928, this Boeing 40 was operated for about six months by Pacific Air Transport on a mail route. The plane crashed in southern Oregon in October 1928, killing the Pacific Air Transport passenger, a diamond broker. The pilot survived. The Boeing 40C was left where it crashed until a member of the Oregon Historical Society found it again in 1993.

Pemberton later acquired the wreckage along with Boeing 40C design specs and began a nine-year effort to restore the plane.

The Spokesman Review published this piece on Pemberton and the Boeing 40 when the restored plane made its first public flight last year.

And this story looks at the history of the Boeing Model 40.

What a factual article. Thanks for the nice update. Keep it up! But aside from that breaking and sizzling report let me impart something new concern to you. Video games have been pilloried since the dawn of the technology, and the criticism has only intensified since the late 90s, when Mortal Kombat and parents decried the violence, and then Grand Theft Auto and Postal only made the clamor noisier. However, the danger of addiction to video games is real – young adults are increasingly cutting themselves off from real world contact and interaction, and the consequences are very real – there aren't cheat codes for estrangement from loved ones. Video game detox centers do exist, and they're popping up all over the globe. It is worth same day payday loans and potential freak outs to make sure you and your loved ones don't take video games too seriously.
