The prototype for the Boeing 377 Stratocruiser was NX90700 c/n15922 and first flew on July 8, 1947. This same aircraft was then delivered to Pan American World Airways as N1022V on October 24, 1950 and named “Nightingale”. Pan Am purchased 21 of the 56 Boeing 377s that were manufactured. They were registered N1022V to N1042V. Pan Am removed this aircraft from service in 1960. In 1961 it was purchased by RANSA who converted it to a freighter and operated the aircraft until 1969. It eventually ended up being scrapped.
Designed as a commercial transport version of the B29, the Stratocruiser was first flown on July 8th, 1947© Copyright 2003-2010 The Flying Mule, Inc.
