Out of interest any idea what the current surviving stocks of B377 Stratocruisers or C97’s are ? Can’t be many about, I guess the B377 Passenger Strat is now extinct?

Allegedly the crew made the decision to return to Boeing Field, rather than land at Paine, because their cars were at Boeing Field.

Does anyone have any info on the crash of the newly restored Stratoliner. It apparently suffered engine failure and crashed into shallow water.
The only surviving Boeing 307 Stratoliner (NC19903) is preserved in flying condition at the Smithsonian Museum’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center. On March 28, 2002, this particular aircraft was subject to a dramatic crash in which it ditched into Elliott Bay in Seattle, Washington, on what was to be its last flight before heading to the Smithsonian. Despite the incident, it was again restored, flown to the Smithsonian, and is now on display.

RE: Boeing Straroliner crash
From what I believe it was a ‘textbook’ forced landing in the bay off Seattle from which the crew escaped with minor injuries.
Hopefully by now she has been recovered.
