Sailor who loves aviation, or a Pilot that loves the ocean

Sometimes people have tooooo much time, or too much money. Was told that this is the the forward fuselage section of a Boeing 307 which was flown by TWA and Pan Am

Oh boy, TWA, so Tommy may try to buy it! :lol:

Quote:

It all began when industrialist and aviation pioneer Howard Hughes acquired the plane in 1939 as part of his purchase of Trans World Airlines (TWA). Ten years later Texas oil baron Glenn McCarthy, who’s life was immortalized by James Dean in the movie Giant, purchased the plane, which he dubbed The Shamrock. In 1962 the plane arrived in Fort Lauderdale, and Florida Jet Research bought it. Then in 1964 the plane suffered extensive damage from Hurricane Cleo, ending its flying days.
