This is the only airworthy Boeing 247 in the world, and it has just
flown its last flight from the Museum of Flight Restoration Center at
Paine Field in Everett WA USA about 30 miles south to Boeing Field
where the museum is located.
It has been in the museum collection for 50 years, and did quite a bit
of flying between 1994 and 2004. Subsequently parts became a problem,
and it hasn't flown.
Photos of its arrival on April 26, 2016.
A short video of the engines shutting down for the last time can be
seen at https://youtu.be/tRovKd-5czY
