This Electra, Jr. (NC18097) was built in 1938 and is one of just 130 Lockheed 12s built - only eight are still flying. It was purchased by Phillips Petroleum in 1939 and "requisitioned" by the Army as a UC-40D (42-66386) until 1945. In the 1950s she had several owners and was acquired by David Marco in 2009 when she received a twenty month re-license overhaul.
