Scenic
Airways Boeing 40-C
NC841M
(c/n
1167)
The only Boeing 40
operated by National Parks Airways was sold to Scenic Airways in January
1935 to replace their Fokker Universal which was
overturned in a windstorm at the Pocatello
Airport on 4 January 1935. The above shot (unfortunately
with the registration and titling not
visible) was provided by Craig Neumayer. F.H.
(Chris) Christensen flew the Boeing for the
winter of
1935 and then, Craig advises, based on his log book entries, stopped
flying the plane
after
April 1st when he had a landing accident with a broken ski in
Ashton, ID. His daughter
and another woman were his passengers on that day
and both were uninjured although the aircraft
was hauled away on a truck
and never seen again.
