The Stratoliner Experience

I've always found the Stratoliner fascinating. I would love to see one in person. It looks awesome, isn't it?

According to the Boeing's site Model 307 Stratoliner "was the world's first high-altitude commercial transport and the first four-engine airliner in scheduled domestic service". They started flying in 1938. It was also the Stratoliner that had Howard Huges interested at. He bought one and transformed it practically into a house. More details about him and his plane's modifications at the Boeing's site.
