| Description |
c/n 18-2302. Built as a C-60A with the serial 42-55897 and delivered to the USAAF on December 22, 1942. It flew for the advanced glider school in Long Beach, California. The US Reconstruction Finance Corp. sold the Lodestar to the Defence Plant Corporation which leased it to TACA Airlines. TACA operated the Lodestar under lease to several of its subsidiaries, where it saw service in El Salvador (as YS-25), Costa Rica (as TI-73) and Columbia (as C-251). TACA also leased the Lodestar to Linea Aero de Columbia S.A. In 1947, the War Asset Corporation sold the Lodestar to Grubb Oil Co., and it was converted to executive configuration. It was later owned and operated by Dehli-Taylor Oil Corporation as N4495N. It flew as the personal transport for Columbia Gas Transmission's president until 1968. It received many of the popular Dee Howard executive aircraft modifications, including panoramic windows, new tail cone, wingtips and nose. In 1968, Houston businessman Paul F. Barnhart purchased the Lodestar and operated it as his business aircraft until he donated it to the Houston Aeronautical Heritage Society in December 2002. It is on display at the 1940 Air Terminal Museum. Houston Hobby Airport, Texas, United States. 18th March 2017 The above information is, in part, from the 1940 Air Terminal Museum website. |
