Lockheed 10 Into The Air

It's fantastic to see another Lockheed 10 flying again. From what I've gathered, she'll be heading to the Czech Republic, owned by the company BATA Shoe, which also owned/used this very aircraft back in the 1930's, purchasing it brand-new in 1936.

The Lockheed 10 is an incredibly rare aircraft to see flying these days. This one is actually one of only two, of about 18-known survivors, that are part of flying operations today, all of the other survivors are ground-based (either displayed in museums, stored, or under restoration to fly) - the other flyer is C-FTCA in Canada. The Lockheed 12, however, is quite a bit more plentiful on the flying-scene. Of the roughly 30+ known survivors, there are as many as 14 flyers. Due to the rarity of flying Lockheed 10's, for instance, a Lockheed 12 had to be substituted-in for the movie "Amelia".
