Never realised that there were so many or even any civil C-1’s on the register. Not sure yet which one this is. RIP for the lone pilot who apparently was very well liked. 🙁

One or two?! I have located at least ten that are ‘N’ registered, but not necessarily airworthy.
I said “one or two” flown as warbirds…display aircraft…that are regularly displayed or seen.
The other week I was having one of my vintage cars worked on and in the garage was a pin up-style calendar and it had a scantily-dressed woman leaning up against a rerstored C-1.
There are probably others, but as you note, just because they have a registration dosen’t mean they’re airworthy…or even really exist.

Thanks for that! Photo of N27PH operating in Alaska in 2001, so it was an established operation.

There are 1-2 restored as warbids..I wasn’t aware of any working for a living.
RIP…
